Does Xbox 360 have self publishing?

No.

The biggest issue is not the self publishing itself... most devs (not Indies) didn't received Xbone devkits yet (or received late)... so Indies didn't have the devkit too or maybe are receiving just now.

Blizzard (big dev) for example said that PS4 version of Diablo 3 will be out first because they didn't received the Xbone devkit yet (in August... maybe now they already received).

i think so but only for the unpopular indie section, not for the popular arcade section.

You need a publisher... if you didn't have one you can use Microsoft.

PS3 worked in the same way... no publisher = use Sony.

the ~4000 games in the indie section have a publisher? i don't really believe that because most are super trash. did microsoft really publish all of them?

i know that the ~500 arcade games needed a publisher but the trash in the indie section as well?

omg i don't even want to know how much trash we will get then on ps4 and xbox one if 360 has already like 4000 horrible indie games with publisher.

He's talking about games like "Mount your friends", "Sexy Island Adventure", etc. They're in the indie games section of the dashboard. I would be suprised if crap like that is actually published by a publisher...although Mount Your Friends is fun :)

yeah and there are also good games (like miner dig deep hehe) but most games are simply trash in the indie section. i think that are the games of people who didn't find a publisher or didn't want one even if they could find one to release the game in the arcade section.

Now I got what are you talking... XBLIG... the MS reply to PlayStation Minis... both don't need publishers.

But the Indie devs that they are talking are not these one... are not these ones... the Indie devs/games needs publishers on PS3/360.

Yeap... I saw what he means now.

It is like PS Minis... limited to 500MB... no full access to the hardware... self-publishing.

The Indie devs and games the guys are talking about is another type with no restriction... they need a publisher to PS360.
