I knew you'd use the ambiguous wording to your advantage. I guess 'upwards of' can mean anything you want it to.
Now, find me a source about the budget of two of the games you specified, Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain.
....I'll save you the trouble, Uncharted 2 cost $20 million to make. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/uncharted-sequel-costing-usd-20-million
So if you did actually know what you were talking about, your 'upwards of 50 million' is referring to games that cost less than half of that to make.
I'm the one skewing statements...gotcha.

There is nothing ambiguous about it. If I meant it was absolutely 50 Million then that is what I would have said.
I overstimated what was done with the Uncharted. I though it was a bigger than than it is. That still falls into lines with the general cost I listed for PS3 games and the rest were accurate.
Nothing cost 20 million to make on the Wii.

It doesn't fall into line with the statement you were arguing at this time, which is upwards of 50 million. And as for Heavy Rain, I can't find any source for its development cost, we only know it sold far more than expected, so you were obviously bluffing with that one too. Good to know.

It wasn't a bluff, it was a guess/estimate. I never claimed to know the exact cost as that wasn't important. It was analogy to point out that the dev costs on the PS3 were much higher than on the Wii and that a lot of devs couldn't afford it leading to them going out of business. That is one of the primary points of this thread and it still stands.
