So "$40m" is a selling point now? If anything, it shows lack of efficiency concerning development and planning.

If your goal is to make money you really shouldn't be proud of $40m budgets, especially when you're THQ.

Well, a large budget usually implies large amounts of artistic content.  That is the most expensive part of game creation now.  Getting tons of artists to crank out high quality textures, models, music, sound, etc.  Just like movies.  Sure, a movie can still be good on a small budget, but a great Lord of the Rings movie can only really be done on a massive budget.

or at all rather. hehe.
