I guess a counter-point to this is that a lot of indies have already displayed the ability to make 3D games that basically look like PS3/360 games.
I would totally be there if some indie studio successfully made a game like Deus Ex, Thief, or System Shock 2, even if that game ended up having the same quality graphics as Deus Ex, Thief, or System Shock 2. The only real notable example we have so far is Eldritch. Indie developers keep trying to resurrect old genres, yet no one has really started resurrecting the immersive sim yet. If low-polygon graphics are what it takes for one guy or a group of five guys to be able to be able to make a 3D game with deep gameplay, then so be it. The Minecraft clones are probably the first stage of this. We're starting to creep out of that trend, especially on PC, but it's a really slow process.
The problem is, I and a lot of other people are tired of the majority of these indie games being 2D. A main reason so many people make retro-styled indie games is because they don't have the money or other resources to make games that look like The Witcher 3. Actually cost is one of the reasons I'd want to see this happen.
