According to a Sony Corporate PDF file “Since February 2013, the number of developers joining has increased from 126 to 505.”, many of these developers being Indie devs who are loving what the PlayStation 4 platform offers in comparison to the Xbox One. This is because Sony will allow indie developers to publish their games to the Playstation 4 independently unlike the Xbox One which requires indie developers to partner with a publisher before it appears on their platform.

This basically says the same thing the DayZ article I posted last night.
Small time Indie devs do not want to pay $10,000 to update their game.
It is not really a console decision, but a decision based on terrible policy by Microsoft.

Microsoft is fricking retarded if they don't make their console more indie friendly.
I don't mind some of the other restrictive policies put in place, but indie support is huge.
Sony and Nintendo have got it together in this dept.

They have a massive developers meeting in a few weeks and I wouldn't be surprised to see if something got announced.

I think the issue is that there isn't enough money in indie projects for Microsoft to be too concerned. The money is in Madden, Call of Duty, etc and not indie games.

This may be the most PS fan boyish answer you could come up with.
That literally has nothing to do with it. The Xbox's arcade has been very successful and produced a lot of very good games. The issue comes up when ant update requires $10,000 to MS and the fact that you need a publisher.
There is a good article by the creator of Day Z about the issues: LINK
It is my most frustrating issue with Xbox, but your response is incredibly false.

Not a PS fanboy, I have a 360 and already pre ordered the the Xbox One.
I don't think what I said is false, you'd have to show me something that proves that income derived on behalf of indie games represents a substantial amount of Micosoft's Xbox related revenue.
I understand why the indie developers don't want to work with Microsoft, I'm just pointing out that until indie games start generating substantial profits for Microsoft, Microsoft won't be making many concessions.

One of the reasons I'm going PS4 this next gen. Big publishers are putting out so many sequels and rehashes, I've lost interest. At least indie games will give you some unique art direction or gameplay mechanics. I'd rather have a couple memorable hours playing LIMBO, Journey, Walking Dead, and The Witness than X amount of hours playing another god damn Halo, Killzone, Assassin's Creed, COD, etc.
Seems like PS+, at least initially, will be giving members free Indie games instead of full titles (which is understandable). So that's good.

If I can get 80% of games on both consoles than the things that will sway me one way or another is the exclusives and the features of the platform. Sony is kicking their arse in both. If people buy the other console an not theirs then they aren't getting the income from console sales or for the major games at all. By making things indie friendly and easing off of their restrictive and invasive features it directly affects console and major title sales. Saying COD and Madden are the reasons Microsoft will make bank doesn't work if everyone is playing those games on a PS4 instead.
