Then you're reading the graph wrong

Does that factor in game budgets as well? Some games have budgets that rival Hollywood movies.

That said, I tend to prefer middle-market games (not quite indy games, but ones with very limited budgets for whatever reason), where the developers use what they have in interesting ways. Innovation usually grows through trying to make things work with limited resources vs. having millions of dollars to just throw at a team.
Rival the budget? Many games DWARF the budget of Hollywood films. And they still have the gall to ask for another 40 dollars in DLC and other predatory practices.
