Are you kidding me?
Konami admitted to Metal Gear Solid 4 having had a development team of (over) 200 people who were working for more than 3 years; even the most conservative estimate of $100,000 per-employee per-year (when you factor in everything from wages, benefits, office space and equipment) you're dealing with a $60 Million game.
As for marketing ... Do you not watch any television? I hardly ever watch TV and I saw a lot of ads for Metal Gear Solid.
