Unless you have a collaborative effort with multiple indies (so may as well be a studio at that point) I don't see a Skyrim or New Vegas from the West.
And Fallout Frontier showed how much of a clusterfuck multiple independent devs working together can be that I have more hope of China making one just gatchafied.
On a technical level, I agree that it's easily possible and completely feasible.
On a personal level, let's just say some of these devs aren't independent by choice. Some have too much of an ego that it gets ahead of their work, the amount of projects failed because they promised too much is quite the graveyard. That or they don't have the leadership skills to manage a team to keep everyone focused on their part in the project.
