Thats BS.... DonFerrari explains why below.

This.

If anything secrecy also hurts early game adaption from newer titles, esp from the indie + smaller scene stuff (aa studios), who wont have time to optimise and code for a scarlet dev kit, because their just forgotten/left out in the dark.

If currently few AAA studios have them, and the rest of those guys talking to Jason Schreier are complaining,
its gonna be worse for the small guys out there.

This could lead to another "tv,tv,tv,halo,tv,sports,tv,gears,sports,tv" type situation.

I have a feeling that the PS is going to be, yet again, the home for indies, as MS courts AAA devs to help push GamePass/xCloud.  AAA devs are definitely going to be getting the priority for devkits since MS is running behind schedule.

The home for indies clearly Switch now. Even after the new consoles are revealed Switch will continue to be the main platform (after Steam).
