Well heres some useful info :

The software available for any console is crucial to its success. According to a report on the Bloomberg news service, developers may be thinking carefully about making games for the PlayStation 3 because of the number of sales required to put the projects in the black. Namco Bandai Holdings Inc. president Takeo Takasu has said in an interview that PS3 games must be a mass-market success. Games for the next-generation console cost an average of $8.6 million to create .


So ,8.6 million for a PS3 game .Then we have Killzone 2 with its 21 million budget of course .

I think Uncharted costed 10-12 million and it was marketed with some 8 million .Its marketing was far less apparent than Gears one year before .

Once again, you're trying to use 1 data point to generalize across a very wide spectrum of games ...

The "Average" price a lot of these developers cite include their licenced low budget games which are often shovelware. Take 2's average would include games like Dora the Explorer, Celebrity Death Match, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and Grand Theft Auto 4; if they came to an average of $10 Million across all these games it is far more likely that GTA would take $30 Million with the other four splitting $10 Million.

 Don't foget PSN games...
