As far as independent game developers are concerned. At least Microsoft doesn't have to court them. They give those developers tools to make their games, and the ability to sell them over the marketplace. There are really hundreds on the console, and to be fair I for one am not overly impressed with most of them, but they are there for what it matters.

Been some really good games though on Nintendo online shops.  World of Goo (WiiWare), NightSky (3DSWare), Mutant Mudds (3DSWare), Cave Story (DSiWare, 3DSWare), Little Inferno (WiiUWare), Zen Pinball (3DSWare), Zen Pinball 2 (WiiUWare),

Sure there are plenty of shitty games from indie developers but the ones that are good are games would probably never see the light of day at a major developer.  I'm glad to see the rise of indie developers because the major developers don't really put too much effort into creating something original these days.  They stick with their bread and butter and milk it to death.

You don't honestly expect me to let you dodge the issue now do you. Which is that your supposed advantage is no advantage at all. Seeing as Microsoft has made it damned cheap to bring games to their platform, and they have over 2800 indy games on Xbox Live Marketplace. If anything it is Nintendo that is at a severe disadvantage as compared to Microsoft. Would you care to amend your point of view.
