Lololol! No.

you think their lying?

I don't think they actually care. If they wanted the indies they wouldn't make it so damn hard for indies to publish on the Xboner. Just look at what Sony and Nintendo are doing - THAT'S how it's done. If you want indie this gen you better stay away from MicroSoft.

While Microsoft approach to idies isn't as good as Nintendo's new method I don't think they will have a lack of good indie games for the Xbox one but eh.

Considering how the indie community have reacted to the Xboner I'd say you better get another console if you wanna play those kind of games. Sure, Xboner WILL get indies, just not as many as PS4 or Wii U I think.

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Plenty of stand out indie games were available on 360, so I have high hopes despite the negativity

I don't think we should use "Xboner" for the console, we should use "Xbone". We could use "Xboner" for the Xbone owners = Xbone + owner = Xboner = plural = Xboners. My two cents.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I won't use that term for the owners of the box, just as I don't use Sonydrone or Xbot now.

MS is lying and that's why Xbox owners still get games like Battleblock Theatre or State of Decay XD

And what other term you don't use when it comes to Nintendo owners?

I generally never call any console fans for anything other than fans (or fan boys in certain cases). I try to avoid negative nick names

Fair enough, but I am just curious. I liked the ones you came with for Xbox and PS owners, what you got for Nintendo gamers?

I didn't come up with those names - I think they're widely spread. I think the "term" is Nintendo drones as well... So, those two (soneydrones and Nintendrones) aren't that original...

So Indie-Games will get more diverse and creative...by restricting the developers? Yeah right....I don't say there won't be any Indie-Games on the Xbone, but restricting the devs will certainly not lead to more creative games....
