I don't agree with this argument, but I'll give.

There is all the outcry because of the amount of money spent on the 360 and PS3 RPGs versus those DS games.

Ah, but let's not forget that said 360/PS3 JRPGs are $20 more expensive than the average NDS JRPG.

But also don't forget that budget differences are far larger than 33%.

Revenue in these HD projects are much, much higher, but it's the same argument that Wii owners give with World at War sales. Profit: cost ratio.

Again, I'm not a fan of this argument. I'm just giving it.

Nintendo takes just as much money as Sony and Microsoft do only you sell games for ten bucks more on those systems.  You're looking at tens of millions of dollars diffrence just on the 360 version.  It's not even comparable when it comes to games like that
