As far as i understand it, there is no cost to a PS4 devkit, as long as you are a company making a game (of reasonable quality) you can get hold of one. So please give me a link to the indie dev who paid £10k for one. You make a statement please quantify it.

I recommend you use the internet more, use Twitter and follow Shahid Kamal Ahmad -  you might actually learn something about indie dev on the PS4/Vita. You may be shocked to find in terms of quality indies (that's what matters right) - Sony are well ahead at the moment. Of course if you have a MS twitter guy who is dealing with indie devs the same as Shahid, please share it.

My god do you even do the least amoungt of research in your claims? This is seriously amazing (i am blinkered? just lol man, just lol)

Alright lets see al the nonsense that you posted one by one:

 Your seeing Indie dev who spent over 10,000 grand on a PS4 devkit as the only devs this gen. 

I am sorry, what? See this:http://www.polygon.com/2013/7/24/4553842/so-how-much-does-it-cost-to-develop-for-playstation-4

And i am assuming that you are not going to click in that link because, well... The discussion so far has proved this. So i will pick a quote just for you: "Polygon spoke to various development sources who say that the PlayStation 4 dev kit costs about $2,500"

Alright, not off to a great start are we? Next: 

Im seeing the thousands of potential Indie devs in their bedrooms right now with not the money to buy these expensive Sony kits.

And i am sure all of these indies will just make absolutely wonderful and revolutionary titles right? Right. And this is with you assuming that these "dev kits" are full blown dev kits (as written in the OP) which of course is wrong. I am not sure if you know, but dev kits don't have an OS overhead or even the same amount of memory than a retail console. So even then, these indies will be restricted by power issues. 

The One because Microsoft have cut WAY in front of PS4 by takig out the need to spend, taken out the need to get a publisher.

I am sorry i am going to have to use another gif to express my feelings

I cant even.... Microsoft is WAY ahead of Sony by taking out the need of a publisher? WUT? Sony has been doing this for the last 3 or 4 years (while being praised by indies) while MS literally just announced this "new" policy. Man this is some serious delusion happening here... 

Unless Sony give Indie devs PS4 dev kits free, they cant compete with that. Let alone modding.

Well sorry to burst your bubble pal, but they are giving dev kits for free (as madword already told you but i assume you just ignored).

Alot of Sony fans seem to cling to last generations mechanics. They dont seem to be very open minded or think out of the box. Unusual for a crowd who claim to like out of the box game ideas.

The generalization and ridiculousness of this comment doesn't warrant a "full blown" answer. I will just leave it at that. SMH

So there you have it, i wish you would come off from this more enlightned but i am just being foolish.

They already do :P 

Entertaining thread by the way, I get a good chuckle out of people who defend a company so vigorously :P Not that I would ever imply someone with an Xbox controller for an Avatar is at all biased :')

Can´t we all agree that it would be awesome if extensive modding started to happen in the future X1 community? It might not happen but it would make the console gaming industry expand greatly, don´t you think?

Absolutely agreed. I wish Sony would also make some moves in this area but it doens't seem so likely... :(

I think that the general thought that a portion of this list is not available this Christmas is irrelevant. It probably would have been better to say that "if you are buying a console either way during the Christmas season, here are the reasons to buy XOne:" Sure, they aren't available at launch, but if you were buying a system this Christmas anyway, he is trying to convince you to get the XOne because of its current and future capabilities. Why bother to complain about it either way. Neither system is launched, so all of the proposed features and capabilities are marketing hype until we see them in person.
.

I do want one, but not this Christmas. Way too many Wii U games to purchase, starting with SC: Blacklist.

Exactly my point. People in these forums often seem mote inclined to discuss what limitations they see in the consoles we have or those that will come in this next generation (which actually started a year ago :)). The fact is that we are talking about companies that want to make their share holders happy, and choose different strategies to do so. Let us then imagine what this new technology, which both companies created, will bring in terms of new experiences and communities.

I do believe MS has the more future proof console, but would love for the PS4 and X1 to evolve beyond what we currently know of them. And there is where the modding community could be the next big thing. I am a die hard MS and Sega fan, but that doesn´t mean I do not want healthy devlopment of this industry that we, let´s face it, love :).

Halo is not out this year.

I don't see the funny part since Xbox 360 indie titles outnumber PS3 indie ones by the hundreds........

XBLA has released more quality higher end downloadable indie games then PSN has, every year.

Xbox 1 having a built in dev kit will only solidify this.
