Indies are only successful because there are not enough AAA games.

indies are successful because they bring innovation and/or simple fun gameplay, something AAA rarely do.

If there were more AAA games, there would be more innovation in those games ;)

Think like 5 AAA games per month. They'd have to innovate to stand out much like indies are forced to innovate to stand out in the crowd of mass produced games.

Current AAA games don't have to be innovative because gamers crave them and are happy for anything polished.

not really, AAA are so expensive that publisher are only willing to finance development of games they know will sell well (look at COD, a game year after year and no innovation at all). And if they were to innovate and create a successful title, they'll only milk the franchise so it will not be innovative anymore (look at Assassin Creed).

I think that more AAA only = More franchise milking.
