Just a question. Which platform cost more to developed for? DS or PSP? Any estimations?

The PSP costs about 3x as much to develop for then the DS (at least according to info that came out awhile back about dev costs for each system). I believe the PSP was pretty close in costs to the PS2. So it costs less then the Wii to make games for but more then a DS. I believe the estimates were something like DS 250k-? PSP 750k-? PS2 900k-? Wii-1000k-?

It would all depend on the game though, a large scale game will obviously cost more to develop and who's to say it would be cheaper to make on a system that's got a smaller entrance cost? (entrance meaning cheapest you could make a halfway decent game for)

Those numbers are extremly wrong . I think I know what article you where talking baout , and they stated that overall a game for the DS costs ~ 300k $ , for the PSP between 500-700 k $ and for the PS2 it came surprisingly at 1000k $ . Its overall double , but some games just sell batter on the PSP ( Madden , NFS ) and lets dont forget , that no matter how low cartidge costs have went , CD formats are still cheaper ... -----> in conclusion I dont see support dropping for the PSP anytime soon :)
