Yes but are we saying that MS will rise and fall at release by not having a bunch of indie games on the platform if they are going to get those games anyway.  Unless Sony has secured those good indie games as exclusive then I do not see where this will be a problem.  Right now, it appears that MS has if not better a more complete indie developer solution.  Probably when the dust settles there will be no real advantage in this area.

I know I am not basing my purchase decision on how many indie games show up on either consoles.  I will say I like to have as much gaming options as possible so having a large indie catalog is good but I really on care about the good games.  So far both MS and Sony bring good indie games to their console and even with MS old ways they were and still able to bring a lot of very good titles to Arcade.  Having more indies is a plus but not something that gets me to pay 400 bones when most of those titles I can get on steam, IOS, Android, PS3 and 360.


They both have a similar amount of launch titles. Great looking lineups that are around the same amount (minus the indy games). It just depends on what you want first or which you will just be definitively buying since they are so similar. Luckily I have a PC, so I can supplement some of the PC/Xbox titles until the timed exclusivity wears off. As for the indy games some of them are exclusive and some are timed exclusives.Depends on what we're looking at.

I've got my hands full still with my PS3. Sony got me to buy AC4 with that Aveline DLC. I was going to hold off and buy it used but I watched my friend play as Aveline on her Vita and it was pretty good. I cant wait to see her tie in with Conners grandfather in the exclusive DLC. The Playstation version is truly the definitive version because of the handheld/console combo.

I will buy an Xbone, just when Halo comes out.
