MS180:Cancels indie parity clause LEGEND OVERIDE: NOPE, just bad reporting

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Microsoft has eliminated the rule that indie developers must release their games at the same time on the Xbox One as the PlayStation 4 and Wii U. This was part of Microsoft's indie parity clause.
While that rule has been dropped, Microsoft expects indie developers to add something to their game if it is released on the Xbox One a long time after it is released on other platforms.
"If it's a case where a game is coming out significantly later on Xbox One than another console, in that case we just ask them to add something to the game that makes it fresh for Xbox players," ID@Xbox boss Chris Charla told GameSpot.

That's not the only reason Sony's PS4's indies offerings were so much better but it was certainly a major and obvious detractor. We might as well call it the Microsoft Playstation One at thispoint.
