Not really. When people were saying "Xbox doesn't get any games" in the last few years, it wasn't discounting indies. It was because MS basically abandoned the console. Yea, there was a bunch of indies on XBL, but they were also on PS3 as well, so you couldn't use it as a talking point to make the 360 look better (on the flipside, the XBone doesn't have much of the same indies as PS4). So all the 360 was getting were multiplatform games and crappy Kinect games.
And the difference between then and now is that PS4 owners are merely saying "hey, we have all these games to play. The PS4 doesn't have "no gaemz". Xbox 360 fans, on the flip side, were saying "Xbox 360 library is so much better than PS3 because we have Braid" for example. In a time where the consoles are still new, all we're saying is that there is content to be enjoyed. Whereas, I remember seeing on here some months back where someone said it was too late to put Minecraft on PS consoles, Sony "dropped the ball there" and that 360 had better exclusive content due to Minecraft. There's a difference, here, in people's perceptions to indies. It's not "oh indies didn't count on 360, but they all of a sudden count on PS4".
And even if it were a simple as that, don't act like Xbox fans haven't been flip flopping all over the place anyway. Better resolution/framerate, better sales, exclusive DLC in games, etc. were topics Xbox fans were championing all last gen and now, all of a sudden, they don't matter.
