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.

Bad logic is bad.

Just pointing one thing out. Once again, I'm not dissing Sony in anyway. They've done great things for the console scene for indies. Just saying that people look far too into Sony's relationship with indie devs.

You comment about how not all indies pan out was pretty irrelevant. I mean, the Earth has a lot of water, too, but don't see how that has to do with anything.

Not dissing, just downplaying it in your usual passive-aggressive-I-think-they're-doing-good-but-not-really kind of way. They've done great for the indie industry. It is also a great business decision on their part. No one said (in this thread at least) that they were the "powerful patron of indies", what they have done was go in the opposite direction of MS' initial indie strongarm policies. Credit where credit is due. Geez.
