Stephenie Meyer talked about that regarding Alice's vision gift. Alice sees a "million" possibilities of future events, but FOCUSES ON THE OUTCOME ONLY. Aro's death, as well as The Volturi's death, is the main outcome of all posibilites in Breaking Dawn battle, that's why Aro chose not to fight. It doesn't matter how he approached the battle or started it; he could have killed Edward or Bella first but the battle would have still been the same because it was for the sake of vengeance--he can't avoid the consequences (outcomes) regardless of anything he could have done different after seeing Alice's vision. Jane, Alec, Demetri, Caius...they all still would have died because that was the outcome of such a choice to start the battle. He still would have been killed by anyone of the Cullen's and their allies for starting the battle. For example, let's say in the movie he killed EDWARD first instead of Carlisle. That would have resulted in a battle as well for vengeance--and Bella would have likely been the one to kill him. For all we know, in the movie he could have seen a "million" different vision fragments of the battle--but the main point is that the outcome (his death, jane's death, The Volturi's death) would have still been the same. Also, he can't avoid any outcome/consequences of Alice's gift because she'll see his decision to do so and it will give Alice and the Cullen's an advantage to avoid that as well. Remember in the book when Bella said that Aro's face changed when he looked at her near the end of the confrontation? He was thinking about fighting but because of Bella's shield the Cullen's would have the upper hand instead of Jane and Alec giving the Volturi the upperhand. He was thinking about all of the possibilites and consequences and outcomes that he would pay...You also have to understand that even if he could avoid his own death, he would still suffer a great loss because he could have lost Jane, Alec, or his entire coven...and I think to Aro his coven of powerful vampires and keeping the secret of the vampire world is too important than to fight and be killed and let the secret become known. He was also thinking about if the Volturi died the vampires would be able to do whatever they wanted, they would have freedom to kill nonstop and expose the secret. Aro didn't want to suffer any loss whatsoever.
