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

The whole "indie" thing is just another bullet point for the Sony camp to add to their talking points. They conveniently forget all the "indie" titles that populated the 360 and XBLA over the past generation such as Castle Crashers, Braid, and the biggest indie title of them all, Minecraft, just to name a few.

But for some reason M$ is "bad" for indie games and Sony is good, as they are good for developer relations in general. Right... just ask developers like Free Radical and Factor 5 how they're doing these days after their exclusive partnerships with Sony over the past gen.

Lol so true. Indies were always to be left out for some reasons and were not counted as real games. I think Steam made waht indy gaming is today, MS and Xbox Live proved that indy games could do really good on consoles not jus PC. Last gen we had so many indy gems. This generation it's Sony's turn to make indy devs shine but to a lesser degree imo. It's great that now every gamers can give indy some love. Hope a lot of them will eventualy expand and make more/bigger games.
