as i understand it,. ps3's cell architecture made development really hard on indies. these are small teams that lack the resources (and often time skill) to learn exotic architectures. 360 got indies not because of userbase but because it was the first console that was close enought to being a PC that indies could develope on PC and port to a console without needing special skills and massive code rewrites/optimizations.
ps4 and xbone are both PC enough that indies should thrive on both.
