  There is also no denying that Wii dev costs are way cheaper than HD costs..this is fact.

I always wondered what kind of factor people have in mind when they say "Wii developement is way cheaper".

Is it 2x as expensive to make a compareable HD game ? 3x? 10x? What does "way cheaper" mean? And how can it be "fact", if it's little more than a blanket statement thrown into the conversation ?

In my humble opinion there are several Wii game projects that top a lot of full price HD game projects in developement costs.

Apparently, Wii games are cheaper enough.
