I don't know the indie situation because I don't have a PS4?

What type of Indy games PS4 has that Xbox platforms don't have?

Moreover, with exception of handful of games, majority of Indy titles are fairly small. On Xbox 360 for a game to be considered Arcade and get into that market place, it needs to be over 1/2GB. Arcade market place is a quality control form that MS used to weed out the amateurish development titles from the others.

You are behaving as if X360 didn't have it's share of indie games. If anything, it had so many crappy indie games, it had to dedicate the entire section of the marketplace specifically for them, called "indie". You could go there and get drowned in thousands of titles that would suck even by the 1999 mobile phone game standards.

Me few posts above:

"Arcade market place is a quality control form that MS used to weed out the amateurish development titles from the others(Indies section?)."

Yet, you continue to argue about the horribleness of indies on PS4, while at the same time admitting that X360 had so many hideously below average indie games, that MS was forced to segregate them into their own little ghetto of craptitude.

See, all those indies were still on X360, nothing will change that fact. They were shoveled onto the marketplace faster than one could refresh the screen. The fact that some were not crap, and were allowed to play with the big boys is irrelevant.

MS even provided those developers tools to shovel even faster. MS even published sales charts of those indie games.

But, in the end, let's not forget, those were INDIE games.
