Game pricing has nothing to do with the cost of a games development.
The Wii is still relatively new, and as such, has the price of "standard" games (from last-gen).
MS/Sony are milking consumers by convincing them that $60US ($120AU!) is a reasonable price to pay for a next-gen game - but if people buy them, then hey. At least some of them will be worth this.
Nintendo could charge this level for Galaxy / Metroid - and they would still sell. But Im glad they don't, and it brings it back to pricing for the average consumer rather than a hard-core gamer.
