1) I'm not saying they didn't want to sell, of course they did. The point was that their primary focus was showcasing PS3's capabilities, not maximizing profit. They could have released a game with 4 player splitscreen and a much lowerbudget if they hasn't tried to match the original CGI demo they showed. But they wanted the best looking game out there. If it wasn't a Sony funded product, it would have been reckless.

why the hell do you think splitscreen is so important.if they don't like it they wouldn't.and they didn't have to do it small budget as they had a set budget and work the best out of it

and why do you thik they tried to reach the CGI trailer,it could have easily been in their grasp

and yeah if not funded by sony it could have been a disaster

2)It was reported to be at least $40m in '08, no concrete numbers confirmed. $56 does sound high, but $45m doesn't. It's dev team was massive.

naughty dogs dev team is massive but they do $20 per game and it is the best thing out there

3) Some people doubted it because it looked too good to be in game graphics - and for the time, it was.

fools

4)What that means? it means $20-30m was way too low. it doesn't mean $60m.

but it means is its nowhere near it too so.........

As for companies like Sony... have you seen Sony's financials from recent years? Their projections were off 7 years in a row. And do you know why the figure ballooned above $20m?

it was on target last year

it wasn't off target 7 years in a row but was  many time i know this,it was basically their whole strategy with blu-ray and HD-DVD early release had big hand in it

Because they promised something that cost way more than they budgetted for it.

we don't know that as games today are that good

Remember the initial specs announced for the PS3? they were out of this world. The actual PS3 was far more inline with reality later on.

yes but that was also because HD-DVD consortium tried to release it early and so SONY had to act and release PS3

PS3 would have never released in 2006,it would have released in 2007 with at $399 price tag

And so was the final budget to make a game that looked like KZ2 - especially since it was before Sony had made all the dev tools they have nowadays.

again we don't know that
