One thousand developers are now licensed to self-publish on PlayStation platforms. That's a pretty significant milestone. According to a new post by Sony, 200 developers have been added from North America ever since the PS4 was revealed last year.

Of course, while Sony is tooting their horn on indie development, Microsoft has been keen to follow with its own messaging. At GDC, Microsoft announced that 250 developers have received kits through their self-publishing initiative, ID@Xbox.
