Indie video games made by tiny teams on even tinier budgets are increasingly competing with the big guys, making inroads on consoles after cutting their teeth on phones and tablets. While a blockbuster console game by mainstream publishers can set you back as much as 70 euros ($90), an indie -- or video game produced by an independent developer -- costs much less, if anything. In a sign of their growing appeal, both Microsoft and Sony have stressed that indie games -- which started around the 1970s -- can be played on their new Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the latest battleground between the gaming giants. Microsoft launched its Xbox One on Friday in more than a dozen countries including Australia, Brazil, Britain, France and the United States.
