Lets compare apples to apples ... Ratchet and Clank took Insomniac 40 developers 18 months to develop (a feat you said was the sign of shovelware in a previous thread) and Ratchet and Clank Future took insomniac 70 full time developers, 30 shared developers, and 25 contractors 23 months to complete.

You seem to be the only person in the entire videogame industry to think that there has not been an explosion in development costs from the previous generation to the current generation.
