If that would be true, all games would be indie titles.

Unfortunately, those promotions DO matter, and absolute majority of indie games never pull it off, because we never even get to hear about them.

Promotion makes a difference between a cool game no one knows about and a game everyone plays.

And when everyone is expected to buy your game, you have much bigger budgets to make the game not just conceptually good, but also greatly executed.
