That Factor 5 chart I find interesting, I think they were trying to make a subtle hint at Lair being AAA this gen, but for a high budget title to only come between $12 million to $15 million is alot less then some of the figures thrown around on here.
Especially as it was a launch game, costs no doubt fall after all the engines are made, middleware created and whatnot 0_o.
Still, it's hard to ever really estimate developement costs. FFXII cost $20 million and that was a last gen game. Some Wii games will no doubt have costed more then some PS360, a good rule of thumb is just that the Wii equivalent would be cheaper.
