I had a scary thought about the Vita.

Apparently you need this whole math thing explained to you, but first we should probably return to your train of thought, because you seem to have jumped the tracks. First you argue that twenty million dollars in pure development costs is too high. You instead argue like three million is more reasonable. That was kind of fucked up anyway considering we were talking about a AAA title, and not a AA, A, B, or shovel ware title. Oh no twenty million dollars was far too rich for your blood. Even though AAA titles on home consoles can actually cost in excess of fifty million.

So you demand that I justify those costs. Even though just about everyone on these forums know those costs are indeed possible. We read about games with astronomical budgets every single fucking year. So I do as you asked by hunting down the more recent, and altogether the most relevant source available, and you can cut the shit about no linking. News outlets repeat comments that were made verbatim, and that proceeds links by centuries. M2 Research doesn't run a news service out of its home page. They are not in the entertainment business. If you want you can go to their homepage, and they provide links to news stories that they were the source for. They aren't disputing the claims attributed to them, and they are the ones given credit. Nobody in their right mind disputes attributed quotes. If you feel this way then you probably think everything is a conspiracy, and every news program in the world is just telling unfounded lies.

M2 Research provided average development costs for a single platform game. Which was ten million dollars, and they provided high end costs which proved me right. At this point you should have conceded the point. You were arguing against a certain set of circumstances being even possible, and right there I had proved that they were. Once again though that wasn't good enough for you. So you set out to attack anyone who wasn't serving your purposes like a child throwing a tantrum. You blame Develop, you blame M2, you blame the fucking laws of reality, and common fucking sense, and that is where we are right now.

I actually thought your story couldn't possibly become any more ridiculous, and congratulations you have at least proven me wrong on something. Now you are arguing for extreme outliers that cost a hell of a lot more then the original figure that you were claiming was outrageous to begin with. What twenty million is too much, but a couple hundred million is just right. Either you are arguing for a couple obscenely expensive games, or you are arguing that my high end figures are terribly common. Are you just arguing to argue. I mean your taking my side as a rebuttal against me.

Look I am glad you want to bump my thread so that it gets more attention, but as you can see you are upsetting logic56. You should probably call it quits. I mean I will gladly argue for seven months and a hundred pages, but some Sony fans are getting upset about the topic.
