Right. And my numbers are merely guesstimates based on what I assume a certain game would cost, for that kind of budget.
However, unlike the movie industry, we rarely know what the budget of a title is - big or small, we know very little. Some Xbox 360 games have been quoted in the $20m range, then you got Gears being made for as little as $10m.
And on the Wii side, you look at a game like "Carnival Games" and think "they couldn't of made that for more than $1-2M USD", then look at Red Steel's $12m budget...It can be topsy turvy, but I think my estimates should show atleast what the bare minimums are for a game.
And high budget can be very relative: Final Fantasy VII, and Shemmue cost more, considering inflation, than Halo 3, I believe. Mario 64 cost more (if I remember right) than Red Steel.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
