That was obvious, though I want to know other than GTA CTW what game cost £330,000 to make on the DS... that's a bit excessive for your average DS title but CTW was a big game.

Considering that FFVII on PS1 costed whopping 30 million dollars to make surely there are some games on DS that costed at least over million to make. DQIX is probably the most expensive. Of course most DS titles are cheap to make but like with every system there are also games that cost a lot of money.

This is very true, development costs always escalate with new technology, it'd be interesting to see the leap of GBA dev costs to DS or even PSP since the leap in technology is closer to GBA to PSP than GBA to DS.
