Seems to me more like a stopgap attempt to counter the lack of big games now that just about everything's been pushed back to 2015.

A stopgap attempt that began a few years ago when they started working with studios like thatgamecompany, PixelJunk, and Giant Sparrow?  That doesn't make a lot of sense.  Even most of the PS4 titles had to have been in the pipeline for a year or so before launch.  They've even taken the strategy to Japan with Playstation CAMP.

No, it's clear they came up with this plan quite awhile ago.

They also would have known several years ago that the spiralling costs of AAA development would mean less games. Hence turning to indies to try to bring some moisture to the desert.
