a retail game is necessary more ambitious than a indie/digital game ?

The timing of this thread suggests that is was created as reaction to something I have said in response to the whole tbone terminology debacle. I am not sure how to respond, because the topic creator twisted the statement into something else. But...

I reiterate that the best digital-only games can't compete with the best retail games in terms of content, depth and options. If anyone feels differently, then it's probably because the retail games they play suck ass.

No i saw Rime artworks and informations ( but not sure if it's an indie or not since it's funded in millions by Sony), and i wanted to create this thread. I think Deadly Premonition is also an indie, whereas it's the best game of it's year.

But you dont ask to the question, you take the best retail game, but the best retail game is also deeper thant most of retail games, does that make these other retail games non ambitious or bad ? No. I'd take the example of ace atorney , most of us think it's one of the best game ever, though, it could be an indie, it's just a visual novel ( well especially now that it's digital, the difference is hard to see, except it's not made by an indie)
