wowser... $60m "a fairly small amount"

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?

I'm trying to find a source for that, but I seem unable to do so.  Seems I was mistaken about the number having been made available to the public.

But i wouldn't be surprised, given even FFXII had a budget of $40 million.

This is Square's biggest title.  They have had the bulk of the company grinding away on this game for over five years now.  The CGI cutscenes in the game alone probably put the budgets of movies like the Spirits Within to shame.
