I pretty much exactly agree on this. I've been buying far more games (both quantity and $ spent) since I got into the indie-er crowd, and have been enjoying them more.
Also, I don't buy "X dollars / Y devs" and "X is fixed". If anything, the massive rise in casual (and mobile) gaming disproves it solidly. New markets exist, and you can eat from external markets too (I find more and more people watching (and wanting!) less TV - dropping cable gives you quite a large gaming budget).
