I remember an article a while back saying that Nintendo is giving big incentives to indie developers to make games for the Wii U, I really hope that it's true because most creatives games this gen came from the indie devs.


That is indeed true. They are making intro into the console market easy.

Also, indie devs are currently the best the big business dinosaur that is the gaming industry has to offer.

Ninendo came bring original games back to life with no ways of play. They are the only ones who can reviatlize the industry.

As I've pointed out, many indie games are doing wonderfully on PSN and XLA (and Steam, of course).  In fact, I would say the success of downloadable games has been the big surprise in the gaming industry over this generation.  Nintendo is the one late to that party.  Their fault, the developer's fault, a combination, doesn't really matter.

And, honestly, you've given zero reason why the Wii U would be a better platform than the others, especially given Nintendo's lag in creating a high quality online service.  Pretty much every reason you've given is just biased opinion, such as your false generalizations about 360/PS3 owners not having a diverse taste in gaming.

Can Nintendo improve its online infrastructure and offer a great platform for indie games?  Sure.  But are they the only ones who can "reviatlize the industry"?  Sorry, that's already started, and Nintendo has realized that they need to catch up.
