Namco Bandai's Takasu Says PS3 Game Titles Must Sell 500,000
By Masaki Kondo
Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Namco Bandai Holdings Inc., Japan's second-biggest maker of video-game software, must sell at least half a million copies of a game for Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 console to make money on the title, said President Takeo Takasu.
Graphics for the high-definition games cost about 1 billion yen ($8.6 million) to create, more than double that for Nintendo Co.'s Wii titles, Takasu said in a Tokyo interview Nov. 28.

Story is about a year old. It talks about the cost originally to make PS3 games, according to namco prez. Obviously this figure is just relating to graphics. So I see it as reasonable to see a company like Konami spending around 40 million to complete Metal Gear solid 4. From Concept to completion, voice acting, score department etc. Anyone else find any good info?
