Indies to continuing to be slow to appear on PS? AAA to start disappearing sooner off of Xbox One?

Dude give it a rest. No one is taking you or your thread seriously because you are obviously cherry picking games and announcements just to prove your point.

Here are a bunch of recently released or announced indie games that are on PlayStation and not Xbox with no release expected soon.

I don't see what is gained by insulting people.  That doesn't convince anyone of anything, as it typically gets the back up of the person you're addressing, and will typically discredit you with lurkers who are just reading the thread.  Being unnecessarily insulting just hurts your argument.  And you are falsely asserting my intent (see my response below to @Kyuu as it applies to each of your comments).

This seems cherrypicked. Just off the top of my head, Tchia released a couple of days ago on PS/PS+ and PC with no Xbox version in sight yet. [...]

I did not say that no indies were coming out exclusively on PS.  I said that the PS platform has gone from being an indie darling at one point with the PS4, to being criticized by many indie developers today (poorer sales performance than before, worse discoverability than before, etc.).

To test how much of a difference that was making to developer intent, I've been tracking recent announcement.  And we have in fact seen a significant up-tick in indie games that are coming to Xbox but not coming to PS.

There also appears to be an implicit suggestion that this is some kind of pro-Xbox thread.  That's incorrect given it's a two-part thread, and that the other part is tracking examples of games that are coming to PS4 but not coming to Xbox One.

Nowhere in my post did I insult you.

All I did was point out that the methodology you are using to back up your prediction is clearly and obviously flawed.

All you are doing is posting examples of announcements that make you look correct while ignoring all other evidence that is contrary to that theory. That is a classic example of cherry picking.

If you really wanted to prove your point you would keep track of all indie announcements including those that arrive on Xbox first, those that arrive on PS first, those that arrive on both simultaneously, etc. Hell even take it a step further and include Switch as well and also note the time delay between releases if that is what you are concerned about. If you are not willing to do all that then you are indeed wasting your time because the "evidence" you provide is worthless.

It is like testing your theory that the number of days of 100 degrees is increasing. As evidence you post any time there is a day over 100 degrees disregarding all the days below 100 degrees and not comparing the present data to past data.

You have not reacted at all to the substance of my argument, which is how do you respond to your prediction and evidence given that there are dozens of provable indie games that are releasing on PS and not Xbox as well?
