Default Game Development?

I'm learning C# for a while now and I was wondering what to do with my programming skills. I had all kinds of ideas, like developing a social website, developing some kind of goal setting software etc. I have never seriously considered game development as something I could do. Just a few moments ago I came across XNA. XNA is a game development framework for Visual Studio and is pretty nice to work with I think. I have no experience at all in game programming (except for making pacman one time) but it seems to be something that I would really like to do.

I know Steve had a successful game development business, and I was wondering if there are others that are doing the same in these forums? If you know good resources for game developers(articles in marketing, development, gameplay etc..) . I was also wondering if there is still a market left for one man game development businesses?

I just got a book(pdf) about XNA and I'm going to see what it's all about now.
