The one thing I think is interesting when it comes to Indie games is that with Microsoft's recent reversal they're also claiming that a regular Xbox One will function as the dev kit. Contrast that with the PS4, where dev kits reportedly cost $2500. Now Sony's been loaning those kits to developers so it doesn't make a difference right now, but if the Xbox One also functions as a dev kit that could significantly lower the barrier of entry on game development.
