I wonder how well GTA VI will perform. I mean, gamers are becoming more and more dedicated (just look at the big number of million sellers so early!).

Gamers aren't getting more dedicated, it's just there's way much less choice than before.

With the indie explosion I'm not sure if that's true. I like to think we have less AAA options, but overall it seems the same, if not better (more options).

Imo indie games are still very restricted in genres and budget, they're not like full fledged game in most cases. Mainstream titles are now restricted to a few AAA productions per year: most of them are action games or shooters blended with a mix of rpg / survival /staealth /dirving elements. GTA is a good example fo this. These games sell so much because they offer a bit of all flavours and specific genre games are mostly dead. Plus since dev budget has got bigger, also marketing budget is.
