I think MS policy might be unpopular, but it is the only thing ensuring that whatever "indie" support they do get isn't seriously lagging behind other platforms.

It isn't like MS actively chases down the "indie" or go out and discover and promote the upcoming "indie" games. That is something that happens mostly on PC and Sony has started doing that a lot by signing indie exclusives like from ThatGameCompany and getting games like Flow, Flower, and Journey.

Nintendo has policies on this that are more like Sony, but have the flaw of sitting on their ass rather than chasing down and appealing to indies to release their games on the Nintendo platform. They are still too arrogant to think it is more up to the other developers to want to develop on Nintendo platform than Nintendo responsibility to make it an appealing intiative.
