It is possible, I'm not convinced it's probable.

  Selling books in large quantities isn't all that probable with a traditional publisher, either. Even if they publish you, they usually don't market your book near as well as you'd hoped, and your royalties are a much smaller percentage of the sales price. With Amazon you can publish a book at $2.99 and keep 70% of that. I've seen a fair number of articles by people who'd published several books with traditional publishers, then decided the self-publish route paid more and got more books in the hands of readers.
