Yes believe that the rest of the world is just like you and a lot of people, most of them, bought Switch primarily to be a Indie Machine. That certainly explains it success.

I'm mentioning GOTY contenders instead of Indies, because the size of Bungie and type of financing it will need is on the realm of GOTY and AAA not Indies.

That's because a lot of the world does care about indie games, believe it or not. Why do you think games like Minecraft sold so well, or how about games like Undertale and Stardew Valley becoming lightning in a bottle titles?. People definitely do care and hold indie games high up there among other games from varying budgets. The entire games industry isn't just AAA games and nothing more you know. Heck, games like Rocket League and Minecraft have stayed popular over the years, while "AAA" games like MGS5 and Survive, F76, Battlefront 1-2, BFV have all fallen short, and all of them being "AAA" games.

Look at how indie devs are also celebrating their sales on Switch, compared to other platforms, even the other two consoles. It';s obvious that yes, a lot of people are buying indie games on Switch. Playing games, let alone indie ones on the go is a very lucrative prospect. 

Well then you're limiting things to a small spectrum, when in reality it doesn't matter when you look at the sales of other games over the years. You're trying to hold onto a subjective set of awards, as if they hold dominant and absolute sway over all else, when in reality they really don't, a group of gamers just think X game is good and nothing more. The GOTY awards are but a small fraction of the billions of gamers out there in total. Those dedicated awards and their subjective mindset do not outnumber those who just game and play what they want.

Bungie already has their "funding", and it's from a Chinese company, and not any of the big 3. It's become very obvious now that we do not have to rely on just the big 3 to get things made and done, and that's honestly an amazing thing for this industry. Even though I'm not a massive fan of Chinese gaming, I'd rather see insane competition from their end of the industry, towards the other Eastern and Western territories.
