Uncharted 3: $25m

It's ~21m for Uncharted 1-3 vs ~11m for GT5.

Budget-wise that's certainly true, but don't forget that advertising 3 games certainly costs more than advertising 1 game.

Of course but when it comes down to developers worth to the publisher (Sony), it is not very important. Sony pays for it all, so it comes down to how well the developers did with the budget given.

300 Naughty Dog employees with $65m budget sold 21m games

vs

140 Polyphony employees with $60m budget sold 11m games.
