I play indies on my PC, where there are far more for cheaper and (at times) significantly better.

I'm not anti-indie, but indies can't replace mid-tier games.

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.

Actually it does have an effect.

Heck, Sony is  using it a distraction from their lack of games library. Do you really think that if a system was successful purely on indies driving it, that the moneybags behind it will feel the need to pump money into bigger projects, possibly risking failure, when they can just pocket it? They will pocket the money as bonuses or shift it to other departments.

Distraction? Sure okay, as games in themselves are distractions. Sure they have an effect but in a positive way. They are allowing Sony's studios to take their time in developing their games while giving players games to play in the meantime.

This ensures that the developers aren't under the gun the whole development cycle and helps us get better games. Your leap towards Sony abandoning AAA titles is based on nothing but conjecture and is just wrong. The influx of indie games is better for the industry and better for those who actually like to play games.
