I find it funny that we still refference "50 million" as average ps360 game budget. I think this started when Ninja Theory said that Hevenly Sword cost that much. One must consider that dev costs is going down every day...at first it was high as dev kits needed to be upgraded and tools had to be optimized for HD but I really doubt that average games cost more than 20 million to make.
Especially considering most engines get re-used for different games... Monolith used FEAR engine for condemned 1 and condemned 2 for example.
So related to your post, I think you are right about the dev cost for this game, but if they do decide to make parts 2 and 3 like they promissed, it will be far cheaper to produce.
