LordtheNightyKnight: I don't think developers think that every game needs that huge of a budget to succeed. We have seen many games succeed with a lower budget. PSN and Live games succeed. Rock Band just sold 10 million songs (4 million in last month and a half). It will be ok.
Not every game needs the budget of GTA, Halo, MGS4, Killzone, etc. Games with lower budgets don't have to sell as much.
It's the same with movies. Not every movie has to have the budget of Cleopatra. I think people sort of naturally understand that. There are "blockbuster" movies and then there are breakout hits from low budgets. There are many paths to success, and 1 game doesn't change that.
