PS3 R & D was so much. I was going to make a thread about this but then I got lazy. How much R & D do you suppose is spent on next gen consoles? More then Previous console? About the same? Depends on console?

They said operating income will be flat for the next fiscal year for the Games division due to R&D costs. So, it's not going to be anywhere near the PS3's level.

Even though we are in a Sony thread, I was kind of wondering what it is like for all of them. In general what is the case?
