I bet Ubisoft with Rayman Raving Rabbids and Red Steel at launch.

So what do I win?

They'll have had decent budgets for sure but nothing approaching that of Mario Galaxy or big 360/PS3 games. Red Steel 2 may be different but we won't know til we here more about it.

 Red Steel was a 10 million dollar game. It was mediocre, but it was still a 10 million dollar game. That's probably as high as any Wii game will go, I suspect.

May I ask why you think 10 million will be the ceiling budget?

If Ubisoft were willing to sink 10 mill into a Wii game at a time when the system was an unknown entity wouldn't it be realistic to think they or some other 3rd party would be willing to up the ante now that Wii has established itself as a runaway success?
