The Publishers are paying attention to the independent market. There are independent authors whose books have done well enough that they have been picked up by a Publisher. I doubt that an Indie author will sell one million books on their own but I would not be surprised to see the Publishing Houses picking up the more successful Indie authors.
I have no idea how they define success, I would guess units sold, the authors ability to self promote, and the type of work that they write all come into play.
