Not sure where the exact figure is coming from but this doesn't sound like trolling from his side:

"We've never used this size of a team and this amount of time to build a game before,"

Definitely the most expensive game Platinum Games has created (before Bayonetta 2 at least). So should easily be $20m without advertising.

Sonic Lost World, Mario 3D World and Pikmin 3 aren't that conservative either.

are you telling me that theW101 costs about the same or more than Uncharted 3???

do you realize how stupid that sounds, and please all WiiU games are cheap as fuck, all look like HD Wii games, Mario 3DWorld is the only one that makes a good use of WiiUs GPU but thats it.

W101?  That game was obviously on the expensive side.  A huge amount of unique art assets, constant on-screen effects, a ton of vocal work, lots of animation and cut-scenes--that all requires time and money.  You can tell a lot of people worked on it.  Even the localization was probably expensive.
