Rate Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft's Indie Approaches....

[Cute Pikachu]

So rate the indie approaches of the Big 3.
Ill start:
Sony: 9(getting everything, supporting everything, being kind)
Nintendo: 7(making it free to be a wii u dev, getting some great indies, doesnt support certain engines and low sales for some indies)
Microsoft: 6(parity clause ruins it but Ill change it to an 8 if it goes away)

Nintendo has the best indie relations. The only problem with them is that the sales are usually just too low, and practically everything gets on the eshop. Example being the letter.

Sony is great. Nice relations and nice sales. Don't imagine anything they could realistically do better. I mean I wouldn't mind if they payed me just for showing up haha, but I'm not complaining.

Microsoft sucked but is working to get better. I have no first hand experience with them, but from other indies I've heard good things as of late. Don't even think the parity clause is still a thing.

Sony>>Nintendo>Microsoft

Sony's is almost perfect this gen. Microsoft dropped the ball but is getting better. Nintendo is somewhere in the middle, getting some smaller quality indies but not many of the big ones.

At least 2 people tried to give a response from a developer perspective.

In my view looking at the policies.

Nintendo 9/10
Sony 8/10
MS 5/10

Sony have more Indies because the Indies devs wants to be in the PS4/Vita but Nintendo have the better policies... it is sad they don't have enough "userbase" do attract most Indies.

I think its a safe bet that Sony and Nintendo have the best policies except Sony wins since they get everything. XD
