I'm convinced these nikkaz weren't ready to go this year.

Q: Bringing it back to the original question - when are we going to see the indie products released on Xbox One?

Phil Harrison: I don't think we're going to see things at launch. I don't think it's realistic to see a developer get the programme and build a game and get it into the market on November 22. It's reasonable to expect in early 2014 we'll start seeing the first games come through.

Who cares about indie games?? We have Forza 5, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3, Ryse, Crimson Dragon, halo 5, Titanfall, Project spark to play. I'll just download them to play on my PC.

Indies don't sell hardware, but the reality is that a lot of hardcore gamers - and children - do care about these type of games, and its a small victory for Sony to be seen as the 'indie company' ahead of both MS and Nintendo.

Nevermind the fact that it makes MS/Nintendo seem a little lazy and incompetent in comparison.
