Amazon's self-published success stories

I can't exactly recall where I read it, hence no link, but I think it was on something called Io9 (could be mistaken though) Anyhooo

The article listed the great success stories of self-published Amazon titles. I noticed that their common denominator was paranormal romances. Werewolf or Vampire love stories that kind of genre.

Now that begs the question, is that a genre that the Big6 hasn't responded to? What is the pent up demand for these kind of stories? Does this implies that those that have made it in that sector has done so thanks to their choice of genre rather than their ability to create a fascinating story?

Since I don't read that kind of material I have no idea what is going on. I was just perplexed at how closely related all those successes where as to their topic.
