paraphrased quote just now: "nothing to announce at this time, but hey, Xbox One has that common Windows 8 engine, so if you want to prepare yourself, go ahead and make Windows 8 apps!"

Okay, it got announced. However, no SDK yet

Another XBLIG ghetto? no1curr.
so far, yes that's what it sounds like. I guess it's still possible for an announcement, but that they didn't lead with it makes it highly unlikely.
No. Not in the sense that everyone was hoping for.
Well you can self-publish Win8 apps... I think, yes?!

Correct. Basically you can publish Win8 apps. You will eventually be able to deploy Win8 apps to XBONE. This is basically PSM/App Store for XBONE.. sort of. aka no better than XBLIG.
I would say that's harsh but accurate. Windows mobile penetration is ridiculously bad, and Win8 distribution through Windows Store is insignificant compared to other distribution methods (to be fair, Mac App Store is in the same boat). there's no reason to believe it will be any better on XBONE.
I don't know if is a ghetto, but the windows 8 store is probably the worst thing ever... they really need to put a lot of work on that thing.
So someone like Phil Fish couldn't just pop Fez 2 up on XBL?

It's being hinted that indies will be able to publish apps/games to the Windows VM of the X1.

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
Not pretending to be an expert but isn't the benefit of this that if you create an App for the Windows platform you could (apparently) easily push it to Xbox One (and Win Phone?)?

I am going to an ASP.Net session after this. What is the session in which they will talk about publishing for X1? I never saw anything about this in the session details when I was planning.
Yes, but such apps will be in no way comparable to XBLA titles (or PSN, or Nintendo eShop, or Steam, etc). When it comes down to it, Windows Store simply sits way low on the chart compared to other much more viable platforms and distribution services.

I told him about the HTML5/JS dev framework for X1, and he used that insider info as his confirmation bias that his hardware hallucinations were true.

Not true, W8 store apps has full access to the hardware, support all live features like achievements, and unlike XBLIG does not push indie stuff underneath big corporation apps.

Honestly? Yes. I don't think the store has hit 1 million sales yet.

Why do you assume that? They haven't spoken about publishing details. They cannot do that if the SDKs aren't ready. If the SDKs were in a state to be shared, we would get some sort of preview for download.Won't really help if there's no self publishing.
a) you will NOT get full access to the xbone architecture from W8 store. They haven't announced it and I would be shocked to see it
b) Windows store will still exist outside of XBox Live Marketplace, and they haven't (and won't) announce that changing.
That second point is where the XBLIG comparison will be the most valid.

Isn't Unity supported by nearly everything? Including the Wii U? Or does this mean something more? That doesn't mean anything for self publishing does it?

Someone fill me in about Unity/XB1?
All I want is a way to self publish a game of mine on a game console without the need of a dev kit, similar to XNA on the 360. I know I can do the same on the PC, but there's something interesting to me about having a game on a system, any video game system. I'm not concerned about making money or how much access I have to the hardware, I just want to have the ability to do my own thing on my own hardware and compile it for a system.
Hopefully we see something similar to XNA/XBLIG on the PS4 or Xbone.
