According to EA boss John Riccitiello a Wii game typically costs EA as much as one quarter as much as a typical HD game.

" Secondly, development is typically a third to a fourth as much for a Wii game then it is for a PS3 or an Xbox 360 game"

Actually, in the quote you provide he says that a Wii game can cost as much as one third of development costs for PS3 or Xbox 360 games.
