Indies dont sell consoles is such a narrow minded view point.

On a game to game basis I would say it's true but I gaurantee the steady flow of high quality indies like Stardew Valley, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Overcooked, etc are definitely very attractive to potential customers.

Ok. So now I am being narrow minded.......

You would have been better off adding fortnite to your argument. As that is a very popular digital only game. 

But ok. its off your opinion that indies sell hardware? Its off mine they don't. And for the reasons I have pointed out. I think its safe to say this debate has ran its course because now you are bordering alon the lines of insults. 

So how about we agree to disagree?

He's not wrong. Individual indie games don't sell consoles for the most part, but the steady flow of them does. It's the same concept but to a lesser extent with Nintendo's 2nd tier/3rd tier franchises. Mario Tennis Aces might not sell as many consoles as Zelda but it all goes towards a net benefit.
