Console indie development may fade

This article is pretty spot on. With app stores becoming easier to launch titles to a wider audience globally, and the fact that the development costs are minimal and the cuts that the OS companies take minimal as well, its no wonder that more developers are making games for tablets and smartphones. I think that this trend will continue because the barriers of entry are so low. Granted, this also means that a lot of other, unnecessary junk games pop up from time to time, but Android and iOS are getting much better with cleaning that up.
