You're right, there's not a whole lot of cross over. That said, PS3 just curb stomps everything in variety. None of the other three platforms have as much.

Your numbers, as just numbers, are also sound. But that 3 to 9 you have is a bit of a strange number to share, since only four of the retail releases on GwG are worth anything and only two on PS+ are worth anything. Counting retail releases just because they're retail leaves you open to trashy retail games (Thief, for example) and excludes digital gems like Rogue Legacy... Which doesn't seem fair.

However, it's clear you like the GwG offering more. Personally, the only game on there I would like that was also not available to PS+ was Black Flag, and I bought that game at launch anyway. On the other hand, I've been shown absolute marvels of gaming like Grow Home and Unfinished Swan that I otherwise wouldn't have given a second look because I didn't want to put money down on a potentially bland experience. And because of the cross buy function, the PS4 typically gets more than two games a month, so in spite of having more retail releases than PS+, I'm going to say I've been given a better experience with it than what GwG has offered. 

I think all the retail releases are good or great on GwG. I genuinely had fun with Thief, but hey you have your own opinion.

I didn't say I like GwG better, however I do. Primarily because I am more partial to Xbox 360 games like Gears, Fable, Crackdown, etc. Also, X1 adds value to many 360 titles. I just mentioned the retail thing to show Sony's indie focus, but SOME games like Rouge Legacy are great.

In most cases though, I feel like a try an indie game for like 10 minutes and come to the conclusion, "this ain't for me."

If we really want to pull 7th Gen into this, then the GwG options compared to Instant Game Collection options is a joke. But considering we're 8th Gen, let's just stick to that. 

 

And I did not have fun with Thief, nor did many others. Honestly, the only retail releases that are worth time are Ground Zeroes, Rayman, Black Flag, and Tomb Raider. Everything else on there was more or less "Eh, no one will buy them anyway. May as well give them away". As for great indies that are free on PS+, there are a bunch. Of the top of my head, Rogue Legacy, Tower of Guns, Dust, Apotheon, Grow Home, and Don't Starve all come to mind.
