"You're telling me that one of the VPs of Capcom responds to forum posts, asking about dev costs, eh?"
He does, or at least last I was there. Go to capcom unity and see for yourself. He was acting as feedback to people through the forum, not as a forum poster. And he discussed it because I asked.
"you do realize that all three platform SDKs have prebuilt libraries for loading and rendering textures, right?"
That was only one hypothetical form. And there isn't a way to just automatically convert one texture rendering thing to another, if that's what you're thinking. And even if you took care of the textures, you have to make sure any level uses the textures properly, and that cannot be converted with a prebuilt library.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
