A lot of people love Cave Story and I am one of them. We can look at Braid's success without taking anything away from Cave Story.

1) it was on a console 2) it made the creator rich 3) it inspired a generation of puzzle platformers

All three of those things contributed to the growth of the indie community.

Indeed. Braid was a landmark indie game, but not the first by any stretch of the imagination.
