Devolver Digital’s co-founder says PlayStation and Xbox owners are more interested in big games

Nigel Lowrie , the co-founder of indie publisher Devolver Digital , says that indie games do much better on Switch than on other consoles because Nintendo has cultivated a playerbase that is more “open to interesting concepts” and smaller games. In a GDC interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Lowrie was asked about the current state of the video game industry and what’s happening right now.

“The PlayStation and Xbox users, for as long as I’ve been doing this…there’s a lot of people that still like indie games, don’t get me wrong. Cult of the Lamb has done very well on those platforms. But I think the large majority of those people buy those platforms to show off what they can really do.” Lowrie explained that these players on Xbox and PlayStation are often more interested in bigger games like Destiny, Starfield, and Helldivers 2.
