That's what I am thinking. The new hardware in Xbox One and PS4 does not REQUIRE 4x the development effort, resources, and costs! The developers are simply choosing to invest that much, and I still find that figure startling. It has to be way off or overly exaggerated.
I mean, take your current Xbox 360 and PS3 games, give them full 1080p/60fps native, add better AA, and then give your artists ability to boost textures and things a bit where it makes sense. As shown in games like Uncharted and Last of Us, the artists can make games look way better than the hardware would seem capable of. To me, it does not seem like it would take that much to make a new game.
But, if you are trying to fully max out the system, at launch, then I could see the quadruple figure being accurate, although unnecessary. Make your games creative, enjoyable, and stylish! Not pixel pushers' wet dreams!
