Honestly I cannot imagine either title alone costing more then ten million dollars to develop. The overwhelming majority of games do not cost over ten million dollars to develop, and frankly he actually has no clue about either games development. Most of the work was outsourced to Freeplus who was working on numerous titles. I know in his imagination he thinks that only two or three games were being worked on, but he should be thinking more along the lines of a dozen.

I feel actually kind of sad for the guy the best source he had was a meandering blog that was painful, and unpleasant to read. I hoped he would take the hint, but he obviously didn't. There are dozens of real links to be found, and there are some if you look hard enough that differentiate the average sales on a console to reach profitability of sales.

The last time I actually saw the figures sighted when developing a mid level game for the Wii you could reach profitability after a quarter million in sales. The 360 after four hundred thousand, and the PS3 somewhere at the time over 600,000. I honestly think the latter two have probably gone down more substantially then the Wii has.
