Look at the vast majority of successful indie games on Steam produced by, say, no more than five people. They're basically all labors of love, the missing niche game that they wanted to make and play.
I can't think of a single independent success story that involved someone doing careful market research and engineering a product. There's a reason only big companies take that approach.
