I could see them having similar dev. budgets, but the Mario game gave back a 5 fold higher profit. A better question is asking if Ratchet + Clank cost less to make than Carnival Games, which sold 1.89 Million copies so far. And it took six months to develop. http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2007/08/24/carnival-games-wii-developer-this-is-not-a-mini-game-collection/ |
Um... So you're saying that, since SMG made much more money (gross) than the latest R&C (gross)... that Nintendo knew this ahead of time and thus invested more in it than a typical AAA platformer title, and thus the comparison is bad?
There are a lot of publishers who would *love* to live on your planet. =)
