Red Steel cost over 10 million to make?!?!?! In my mind, there's no way it even passed 3 million... Do you have a Link, Esa-Petteri?

I'm confused... have you read that link?

 

"THQ president Brian Farrell estimated Wii development costs are in the range of a quarter to half of that required for PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 development. What does this mean for developers? A game such as Red Steel could cost them between $24 - $48 million on PS3 or 360."

 

They never said anything about quality or shovelware, only development costs. AAA games would cost half on Wii than on 360-PS3.

 

I am confused. Ubisoft said that Red steel cost 13 million to make. Then someone from THQ said that they estimated that wii development costs range from one quarter to  half of hd-costs.

 

Then the writer of that article made assumption that red steel would cost 24-48 million to develop for ps3/360.

 

Still confused?

Edit:

Of course you missed the point why I posted that link, it was to show someone how much red steel did cost. :P
