I'm willing to bet that the artists who sign with big record company's make tons more than the ones who strike out on their own.
Not always.

the record company makes it sell, so they are providing a lot for the artists.
Yes, the promotion machine is what they pay the record companies to do. But I think the record industry has become too bloated, and these days people discover new music in ways that circumvent the record company marketing machine entirely. I believe that, in the future, people will discover new music because their MP3 player tracks which songs are the most-played, then their computer will offer them samples of similar artists the next time they synch.
