Yes but I think there is a bit of a difference.
Indies often need that early traction to build an audience. Square Enix xould announce Final Fantasy XV 2 months before launch and its sales wouldn't be much different, hell they may even be higher as people wouldn't loose excitement.
Although Kickstarters go without needing an explanation many indie games may be in a similar position in that they're trying to garner more funding.
