I don't think any of the big three "discriminate" against indies or smaller titles.

MS parity clause - http://bgr.com/2015/01/16/xbox-one-indie-games-parity-clause/

MS admitting the parity clause with cringy quotes from Phil Spencer "Millions of people own Xbox One and I want those people to feel like they're first class, because they are"  http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-10-10-microsofts-indie-parity-clause-exists-so-xbox-one-owners-feel-first-class

What we do know is that MS has strict parity clauses they've admitted to, to get it removed you have to give them explanation. As far as I'm aware they don't have anything like this in place for AAA budget games. "Sorry Activision, those COD maps that were on PS first, we don't wan't them". You can imagine how a big company would react to that sort of restriction. An Indie developer can be pushed around more and MS exploit this.
