all this talk about indie games, will they really be a big part of the console war? are they really important?

i actually believe that, and that makes me wonder, what the hell is all this fuss about indies?

im thinking maybe its about digital revenue? you know, the more indie games on the platform the more games sold through PSN/Xbox live/eshop and the more they make money from getting that 30% cut off of every game sold. 

That's quite possibly the reason. If you have a large group of Indie games, it's better than having none. And you still make money off them, so why not? I could see that.
