It's a huge problem. Indies aren't doing timed exclusives, they're just trying to release the game as soon as possible. With smaller studios we do not have the manpower to work on three different versions simultaneously. Instead we have to finish one version, start and finish a port, and then start and finish the second port. It should be the dev's decision to hold all the versions back or release them when they're ready, not Microsoft's. Do you agree with Ubisoft pushing back the Wii U version of Rayman 6 months just to match releases?
I haven't signed up for ID@XBOX for unrelated reasons, but I'll probably be sending them an email.
