So much emphasis on Indies. Yawn.

Shame the article fails to point out its about $2000 cheaper to release on Xbox One. Microsoft don't charge $2500 for a dev kit like Sony. Why did the article miss that off? I expect from this year onwards Xbox One to be the console of choice for Indies due to less costs, meaning the OP will be a moot point.

Seems you know nothing again, you can get 4 PS4 kits for the cost of an X1 kit,  but thats only if your buying, right now MS and Sony are lending kits to most indies.

This will change however if MS can live up to there promise of all consoles being usable as a kit.

Yup bad article, just the first paragraph which is Polygon comparing a PS4 dev kit to a X1 retail Unit, which as i said if MS live up to that promise great, but right now retail kits cant be used as dev kits and the dev kits dont cost $500.

Microsoft have GIVEN indie devs free kits until the retail unis are opened up this year.

End result is free on max $500 on box One. 1 year free PS4 then $2500.

Developing indies on PS4 is more expensive after 1 year.
