Some Wii games can go out of control, but they would take some really specific conditions, like whatever got Shemue to cost $70 million (in 1999 dollars).

This was my point Aiemond. People act that Wii games are always extremely cheap, but we know almost every big and ambitious title will cost quite a lot.

 

No duh. But how many devs are interested in making $16 mil games on the Wii besides Nintendo? The big HD titles will cost more still.

Well, they don't have to spend 10 million on the wii when they make a profit on the games they are already making now.
