I find the distinction between AAA games and indie games irrelevant. I'm not interested in the vast majority of video games, regardless of the budget or the size of the publisher. I only play a limited number of titles, and I'm more likely to try new games from teams or individuals who made games I have have enjoyed in the past.
In that respect, video games are no different from books, movies, or TV shows. I choose entertainment based on the content, not on the form.

I view the difference as being like the difference between movies made by major studios and movies made by indie studios.
The AAA games are aimed at a broad demographic, and that determines what sort of gameplay they present. Indie games address smaller demographics and so are willing to be more experimental and creative.
I don't think one is better or worse than the other, but I do think that there is enough of a difference between the two that knowing what sort of studio made it gives you an idea of what to expect.
