Nintendo's only mistake vis-a-vis indie developers was making Virtual Console a thing. When indie-whatever is setting next to Super Mario Bros 3 for the same price or less, who's going to buy "art"?

This is the only truth

And didn't nearly every Indie Dev complain they have to pay so much fee that they can release a little patch and that Microsoft is controlling them?You can't do that and don't even talk with others about the game and blabla.

I was going to tell you that was a bad thing to say, but I  think you're right lol.

Just another reason XBLA is so awesome.

What I interpreted from the title: "No console manufacturer has made a service that can rival Microsoft's"

What I read from the article: "Microsoft has had the greatest success so far with their DL platform and they're the reason most indies found success."

derp

welcome to a Nsanity thread.  :)

Funny how using a article title's is fine in every thread for people, except when they don't agree with it.

Don't forget PlayStation Mobile now...oh wait that's Sony...strange.

Certification costs really keep many indie developers away from consoles. This applies for both Sony and Microsoft.

I don't know about Wiiware, but there has been some great games on PSN recently.

Unfinished Swan,Datura,flow,Flower and journey for example, but clearly XBL has the lead with Indie games on consoles.
