I really don't like the way the Xbox One is going. I was more towards the PS4 anyway before the announcement but the reveal really made my mind up.
Sort of for the best, XBL currently has some horrible games. No idea how they went passed their check. This is sort of what Apple does and its fine by me, buy holding [URL="http://www.shacknews.com/article/74459/oddworld-strangers-wrath-hd-for-xbox-360-no-longer-happening"]Oddsworld HD[/URL] back is just low..
um, didn't microsoft's previous indie self publishing thing on the 360 have the average quality and consistency of that scum that forms on top of the toilet water when someone's shat in it and left it for a week? this is not a big loss
Microsoft you are doing everything wrong.
Well Microsoft is only interested in things that would make them lots of money (I.E. Indie games that are already popular) so this isn't really surprising.
Christ, it's like they're trying to crash and burn. Everything we've heard is pretty much the antithesis of Sony's consumer/developer friendly approach.

Trying to list a "pros and cons" when it's Xbox One VS PS4. I just can't find any pros for Xbox One. Like what [I]good[/I] can it do that the PS4 already can't?
"Ok guys how do we make everyone hate us ?"
Also, XBL Indie was never released in Europe (or at least not in holland)

to be fair if they did allow self publishing there is going to be nothing but retro sidescrollers
