You can make a $100 million game when it virtually gauranteed to sell 15 million units world wide (more likely it will be over 20 million when all is said and done). That's not something that can be said about Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, or a Zelda game. They couldn't come close. Only Halo, Mario and Smash Bros are console series that could afford such a budget (though we'll see with WiiFit, which probably didn't cost a tenth of what GTA IV cost to make).
