Very much depends what sort of game you're considering. Anything approaching the AAA space, agreed. But mobile games / Web games / anything with carefully controlled scope, not so much.
You may or may not have heard of the 48-hour game development event GameJam? http://globalgamejam.org It's possible to create something playable even in that time.
Also, Minecraft was originally developed part-time, according to Wikipedia.
Working on something serious part-time is hard, and I'm impressed by people who manage it. But it's doable.
