Mark Cerny said the development time for games would be far less than the PS3 and PS2, back to the development times of the PSX. Aside from license purchases, voice actors, etc, development time is really where most of the cost comes from.
There have been plenty of developers saying that it's much easier to develop for consoles this gen compared to previous generations. How does easier to develop for and less time to make add up to eight or even two times more costly than last gen.
The only reason Capcom is saying this is because after seven years of developing the same games over and over again using only a few different engines, they have to make new engines and right now, it'll cost them more because they're making these engines for just a couple of games currently.
Like Squaresoft and Enix, Capcom is a shadow of its former self. The company is a joke.
