It's also time to invalidate the "So what if it didn't sell well, they only need to sell (insert extremely low sales figure) to make profit because Wii development costs are cheap" argument:

BMaker, I am going to remember this forever. This post is going to live on in infamy. Do you understand? Forever.

Good. The next time a "big" 3rd party game comes out, and puts out abysmal numbers, and the excuses start flying, remember that link

Let's do a little math here. Does that sound fair?

Now, OkeyDokey has found sources citing Super Mario Galaxy's budget as being a 16 million dollars. My avatar means I can't be trusted (in spite of the rest of my collection, I'm sure), but this seems like a decent figure coming from him, right? Seems about on level with what Gears of War cost, too.

This seem fair so far?
