We might actually see a return of mid level games if devs are smart this is true .

I sincerely doubt it. I suspect the mid-level game will become even more rare this generation, and will not see a return until and unless the newer crop of smaller developers grow large enough to bloom into that arena.

I also doubt that, as far as I know, most indie developers that end up being very successful still continue to make small games. I imagine because they are afraid to take the jump or even with their success they don't have the resources to make a mid-level game, I'm inclined more to the former.
