Stranglehold cost in the "high 20s", as quoted by the producers in Game Development magazine, in their postmortem.

Stranglehold would have cost ~$7M on the Wii, then?  Why wasn't it, again?

 

I recall several shooters, from their post-mortems in Game Developer, claiming costs in the $15-20M range.  Where are all the cheap $4-5M Wii shooters?  Did The Conduit cost that much?  Seriously guys, I am thinking.  I'm asking you to, before posting hearsay.  Lets see some data, for games which are truly comparable in quality.

To clear any question... 

Midway investing $30 million in Stranglehold

Euro MD claims game will be biggest seller this Christmas

 

Stranglehold would have costed less on the Wii because engines were already built, you wouldn't need to design the acne on the guys face, so on...

For reference, Zelda:TP costed around 15M€. The most expensive game last gen was FFXII costing 30-35M (what a waste of money...).
