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.

HappySqurriel already put it in perpective nicely.

Also, if we talk about the average developement cost, I would think the cost on Wii is closer to 1/3 of cost on HD than equal to it.

Of course, but I do not think there is a universal number or figure to go by.
