It seems that Sony has picked up on one of Microsoft's big weaknesses - they're horrible at actually delivering good products. Indie developers are .much. more opinionated than AAA developers can afford to be, so when Microsoft shits on indie developers (XBLIG), they aren't hesitant to just develop for a different platform. Compare this to Bungie (or is it 343?) who develops one of Xbox's major exclusive titles - Halo. Microsoft can make development as hard as their incompetence can offer for Bungie's developers, but in the long run the developer's opinions don't matter because management calls the shots and as long as Microsoft pays them enough to maintain Halo as an exclusive title, they don't really care. Hobbyist/indie developers don't get in on any of those perks, and since they make their own decisions, they can choose to develop for whichever platform they please. In addition, it's nice to actually read good news about Sony for once, I hope they profit off of their investment in the indie scene.
