Shouldn't Wii games costs less than ps2/gamecube games if they put about the same amount of effort? I mean, the technology has been out for many years now + more efficient tech is now available.

No... they shouldn't

The coding is not the expensive part of making the game, and the only thing what you are saying affects is how easy it is to code on the Wii compared to PS2 (which was a bitch, but everyone was forced to get used to it) and GC (which the Wii is similar to, so those that knew how to work the GC should be able to easily work with the Wii)

The money is spent mostly on things that have nothing to do with which console it is on. (Except that it has to "fit" onto that console of course)

 

 

*agrees with TWRoO*

 

A Wii game that makes full use of the Wii's hardware costs more to develop than a GC game did, due to the Wii having more processing power, and ram, and 6 times the storage space on a disc.

 

And besides, keeping games at the same price is effectively a price drop - inflation
