Of course they need them. They need any advantage they can get at this point and microsoft knows that. They just weren't ready. So not so easy after all. 

Again, it wouldn't do anything for sales. My opinion. People don't buy consoles for these games, unless it's built a library up over the years and supplements the bigger games.

So yeah, they didn't need to have the indie aspect ready. Launching it during a slow period is a wise decision imo.

Why are you making as if MS planned this whole thing out?

Sony drastically changed their policies when it came to indies. MS didnt. This is the main reason why PS4 is getting all these ports. To claim that MS made a wise decision is crazy considering that they changed their policy a few months ago....

Because they have, whether it's a good idea to launch at the time they are is debateable. They said they always had the indie programme in development, and people act like MS have no history with indies, er they championed them more than anyone else 7/8 years ago.
