| RolStoppable said: That's a misleading title. He says "closer to PSP than PS3", not "close to PSP". Quick example with rough numbers: AAA development for the PSP: $5 million. For the PS3: $20 million. Now the actual development costs for AAA titles on the NGP could be between $10-12 million and the statement would still be true. However, this isn't close to PSP budgets as the number is at least twice as high. I don't claim to know the exact numbers, but it's worth pointing out how broad of a statement that is from Michael Denny. |
And therein lies the problem with relative terms. Whenever I see relative terms used like this, I assume the worst, since it just seems like PR talk to make things seem better than they actually are. But who knows, maybe it's not really all that bad and the development costs actually are pretty close to PSP development costs.
