In terms of Indies, Nintendo's support is best this year

Sorry mate, not even close by a long shot - mobiles are obviously getting more games then any other platform.

Joking aside, PC is, and probably always will be, best platfrom for indies due to its open nature, as well as control method...there are shitload of games for PC then are not possible/simple to port to any console.

PC obviously wins in terms of sheer quantity of games. In terms of overall quality and value though, it's beginning to look like, at least to me, that Switch is going to run away with it as far as best choice when it comes to consoles. You have a strong list of games, many of which are likely to be of quality because of Nintendo's quality control, along with the ability to play them on the go + the added value of some being physical releases vs PC indies.

I don't know about console only space (though I don't see Switch surpassing PS4 in support), since OP is about "platform" - and PC is way ahead of all other platforms (apart from mobile) when it comes to amount of indie games - and good ones at that. Not to mention niche genres that practically don't exist on consoles.

What's the point of getting an indie on Ps4, XBO or even PC if its also avalible on Switch? None, the only good reason would be not having a Switch and that's why indies are selling the most on Switch and this will continue.

Hm...let's check some possible reasons.

Better performance. Better visuals. Better price.

(PC) Modding. KB/M.

To name a few.
