It may be a huge market but is it one that will buy their games?   Most Indie games start out between 9.99-14.99. How well do games at those prices sell?  I believe every game on the top 100 games sold on Android is 4.99 or less, Minecraft being the exception at 6.99.  That would be a pretty hard sell to an indie developer to have to design the game to work on so many different devices with ouy a decent return on it. I just dont see games priced in that range being something that mobile users or even Windows 8 app users as something that will justify the work put in on it.

Why?  Xbox Indie Games currently start at $1.00.  By offering a game via Windows 8 Apps Store, then updating the code for Xbox One, they could provide the same features with minimal code changes. 

Thank you for providing information that has been repeated numerous times on here.   Still doesnt answer all the issues though
