say your budget includes all the stuff, and 60% is for programming.
Now, say the engine, or environment or whatever it's called ends up taking up 85% instead of 60%. Obviously everything else is going to hit the fan.

Lol.  You think FR fired all their designers, so they could hire more programmers to work on the PS3, eh?

I thought it was "common knowledge" that its actually art/resources that drives modern dev costs?  Or are those stories about how Wii games are dirt cheap to make all a sham?

???  wii games are cheaper to make because they don't require as extensive programming in areas like physics, detailed textures, and # of on screen objects/enemies because the wii can't handle it.  Is that what you mean by art/resources?
