They don't that's the point, indies haev nothing to do with AA and AAA games, that's why bashing them is incredibly stupid. Indies being there or going away has ZERo effect on AA or AAA games. More games = good period, and there are some really good indies.

I never said that they are trying to replace them, I was referring to the OP where it was mentioned that indies are essential due to AAA dtudios closing. I'm saying that indies don't even come close to replacing them.

i've got to disagree with you there..

..i'd rather play fez 2 than the next halo, gta, assassin's creed, battlefield, call of duty, gears of war, gran turismo, forza, uncharted, batman, fallout, farcry, ect. and so forth.  i'm more excited for the witness than for destiny or even bloodborne (and i love the souls series).   AAA has become such monotonous, boring, drivel these days.  i could easily never buy another AAA again and just play indies but i could NEVER just play AAA and be happy.  too few.  too samey.  too dudebro. 

i am glad to have choices though.

I'm glad to have choices, but I guarantee that the vast majority of gamers will take a game like Witcher 3 or Destiny over most indies.

It's different from person to person, but the AA and AAA is what drives console sales, not indies. Indies can be found a dime a dozen on PC, and much cheaper than they are on console (not to mention even the worst PCs can play most indies).

No Man's Sky is my most anticipated game and it's an indie, so I love my indies too. The fact of the matter remains that console sales cannot be sustained by just indies, it takes AAA and AA studios to sell consoles.
