I will count this as a win for ps4 owners, definitely not a win for indie fans on XB1. Simple business sense tells me to release my product first on the console with the widest audience. XB1 indie fans have fun being second fiddle.

So X1 indie fans having access to more indie games is not a win? What in the world are you saying?

On the heels of every XB1 being a dev kit, Win 10-XB1 simultaneous developemnt i think indies would be fine on XB1. Heck MSFt just announced about 30 indies at GDC, it's not like Xb1 fans were starved.

My point is the fact that if I am an indie developer, why on earth would I even care about the Xb1 version until after I complete the PC or ps4 verions. At least the parity clause offered some incentive to treat Xb1 indie gamers as equals.  Personally if there was an indie I wanted that wasn't moneyhatted, I wouldn't be happy waiting an extended period to finally play it.

Remember I only speak for myself, just my personal opinion, it is ok to disagree*
