Killzone 2 cost 27 million Euros to make. For comparisons sake Halo 3 cost $71million. According to a bonafide Sony employee on a different forum. Sonys most expensive game is likely GT5 at $60million as Yamauchi mentioned. The only new ip on xbox that has had blockbuster sales is Gears which tallies with xbox having captured the shooter crowd while ps3 has a more diverse userbase. Put Halo3 on ps3 and my betting is it'd have sub 5 million sales. Which also tallies with Sonys business direction with having multiple quality games in all genres while MS release multiple Halo, Gears games.

You know $71M is a lot of money. Gears of War cost realistically less than $20M incl engine + free help from Microsoft, its pretty hard to believe that Halo 3 would cost more than half that much. I believe my guy was talking about the programming costs and not the artistic costs so theres the difference between God of War and Killzone and GT5.

The only new console  to have blockbuster sales w/o any IP's???? Yep I thought as much.

If the PS3 has such a diverse userbase then why do they sell almost as many copies of Call of Duty, taking into account install base differences?
