i see.

For a game of its caliber, it is.  It's far less than the >$100 million for GTAIV and FFXIII. 

Plus it's likely GT5P already paid for most if not all of that.  Given that Sony publishes the game and doesn't have to pay royalties to themselves, plus there are no retailer margins on titles sold on PSN, they've probably made at least $20 on average per copy of GT5P sold.  That's almost 80 million.

So FFXIII budget is $100 million?

No, it's not. He has nothing to back that number up.
