I think he means in general? Or i'd hope for third parties sake... as a lot of 3rd party companys make like, half or less then the people like Sony do becuase they arent' rich enough to publish. Then again 35-40 dollar margins? That's not right for a third party.

Well, Sony's first party games usually have pretty big budgets, probably quite a bit higher than the average third party game. Margins will be lower for third party games, though.

But he quotes 20-30 million... which is the accepted cost of creating a next gen HD game when including advertising.
