The first ID@Xbox games release this month, they are currently undergoing the certification process. Don't worry, there will be plenty of indie games on Xbox One, over 100 already in development if I remember correctly.

I hope so, my Xbox 360 has no wifi so I could never enjoy the indies and digital games on Xbox 360. I will buy a PS4 someday, but some good options on Xbox Store could make me be able to wait one or 2 years even.

Yeah, the first few are coming this month. The list of indie devs signed onto ID@Xbox is well over 100 now (I think close to 200 actually), ranging from small new studios to some very big name indie devs like Double Fine and Playdead. 

Indie support will only get better in the future, Microsoft plans to make every Xbox One console a dev kit and they plan to give every developer free access to a special version of the Unity engine designed from the ground up for Xbox One. 

Just for comparison, both Nintendo and Sony each have over a thousand indie devs signed into their programs.

ID@XBOX seems like a pretty good program but at the moment it's not even close to the size of the other guys.
