    You can use Windows 7 64-bit SP1, Windows 8 64-bit, and Windows 8.1 64-bit.

    The only route to develop indie games on XBox 360 was XNA. As Aurore stated, XNA is dead. So developing indie games for XBox 360 is likewise dead. Your only choice now is XBox One.

    Yes, you can do it alone but if I remember correctly you need a legal company with one shipped product. Might be getting this last part confused with the PlayStation 4 though.

    ok

    But I have xna game studio, and I see that is more and more indie games.

    ok

    Microsoft ceased all development on the platform. It will no longer receive updates and thus no new features, no new bug fixes, no support for newer releases of Visual Studio, etc. At best it is a dying platform for Windows development, which it should still function for so long as you understand it'll be worse than any of the alternatives such as Unity.
