Theory: The reason why Sony focuses on indies so much.

Many of those studios will never pan out. Maybe a couple studios with big hits, but not all of them.

And it's not like Sony is giving financial support to all the indie devs. They cherry-pick a few promising ones and go from there. Sony's sponsorship of indies is pretty overblown.

Of course they cherry pick. It's not like they'll finance the entire indie industry. -__-

Give credit where credit is due... Can you do that?

Wait a minute, you're getting annoyed at me just because I pointed out a misconception that some people have? I know they won't that's why I pointed it out -_-

I'm not saying Sony's in the wrong or anything. It's just that people seem to think that Sony is the all powerful patron of indies, when it's not. If anything, Steam is the reason the indie market is as powerful as it is today, they were even more inclusive than Sony was. I give Sony credit for helping a few indies take off, and for expanding the console market of indies. Better?
