I find it hard to believe GT5 cost only $60 mill. Im thinking $100 mill. These representatives often intentionally lowball the costs when they talk to media.

10 million copies will bring in at least $300 million in revenue.

Um, why?

Because it's been in development for 5 years with a dev team of 2-300 people.

So? Also, GT5 production started in 2004? Wasn't aware

Lastly, read the edited please...

Basic logic implies that they immediately began working on GT5 after releasing GT4.  However, most people don't realize that they were focused primarily on Tourist Trophy after GT4, had begun working on GT PSP, and were prepping GTHD for the ps3's launch.

Full development probably didn't start until early 2006 at best, after Tourist Trophy released in Japan in February.  Even then they had team members wokring on GT PSP and GTHD.
