I think 50 million is probably an accurate guess. But, GT1 was an unmitigated success well beyond Sony's imagination, and the industry has changed, so it's rather difficult to say this isn't the way things should be. Frankly, after you make the first game in the series a success you always have to spend much more on its successors to keep it up.
Really, though, even without prologue GT5 is going to reach well over $600 million in revenues on its own, let alone consoles sold along with it. Really, when you include the innevitable DLC, GT5 is bound to be worth more than a billion in revenues all by itself, and I'd say that's worth a $50m investment.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
