The numbers in that thread don't really support your argument. Most of the numbers being thrown around in that thread imply that ps3 games will cost 2-3x as much as a Wii game, aside form a few exceptions like Killzone 2. Of course, they listed exceptions for the Nintendo side as well. mrstickball mentioned Super Mario 64 (64, not Galaxy) costing $15 million, though I'm not sure how true that is. I'm sure SMG cost loads as well.
Some last gen games were highly expensive. FFXII cost $35 million, and I really doubt that FFXIII is going to cost 4x that, or $140 million, especially with Killzone 2, one of the most expensive games this gen (if not THE most expensive game this gen), only topping $40 million (though I'm sure it's closer to $50 million now). Hell, even $100 million seems to high for FXIII. Halo 3 only cost $60 million, and half of that went towards the biggest marketing campaign in the history of media entertainment.
