All of a sudden Indies and multiplats will matter again but they don't for Sony.

Even if it is on PC most people will get it on Xbox 1 anyways. The enthusiasm for X1 release is super big.
It's still a console exclusive to X1 and it's a good way for MS to support PC gamers.
I think its silly to compare timeframes and what exclusives launch within it. Both systems will have a great library by march with mps and exclusives. I am noticing some downplaying and hypocrisy from some Xbox (only) fans which is getting annoying at this point. Now Indies matter? And all of a sudden AAA titles ( rated by many on this site as most anticipated Q1 Q2 game) is meh and niche and dosent matter? Bwahahaha keep it consistent folks.

I see you baiting people with this sentence over and over. If I was you I would give it a break.
From 2011-13, non-Xbox owners accused Xbox 360 of having no games. Meanwhile the thruth is MS invested heavily in Arcade(Indie) games; every year there used to be a Indie hit coming out on 360.
X360 had Summer of Arcades since 2008, 5 years before hipsters got on the "Indies bandwagon" last year.
Xbox owners used to look up and impatiently wait for the next big Indie game on Summer of Arcade.
Don't repeat this fallacy again, it won't make you look good.

I would think the bigger install bade on PC would spur more sales. And this enthusiastic attitude towards the Xbox release that you speak of is silly. Its an Indie game people are not, metaphoriically speaking, linning up at stores to get this game. Indies do much better on PC.

I don't think you know much about Arcade games on Xbox.

Yeah but this thread is about X1 exclusives, not console exclusives.
For such game, no one will buy a console, anyone with a PC can play it ( and at low cost, even free for some with regular deals), so it wont help at all.
Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:
PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

Nope I dont. I just assumed that indies were not that big on Xbox due to all the comments ive read on here over the past several months. So they sell pretty well you say? What metrics do you use to determine this? I dont think this site tracks digital sales, does it?

Joke post? Many are running with the ps4 had no games narrative all this year, despite as many exclusives more Indies and multiplats, and it dominating the sales charts. Much downplaying of Indies and multiplats has gone on. I never said everyone but many have not surprisingly changed tone when it suits them.
Many point to fall... As if games that came out a different time didn't exist?
You denying this makes you look bad.

I think you're having a myopic view on this one. No one will buy a console for a game like Ori.
However, if the gamer has an eccletic taste he/she will rationalize like this: Halo+Ori+QB+Forza+Sunset+Gears= console. That of course if Ori delivers an abover average experience like it looks it will.
