Even though those budgets do not seem high in comparison, we do not know the definition of what those budgets entail.
e.g. Do they include Creatures Inc. work on the pokomon or licensing the designs from them? Do they include work done by Nintendo subsidiaries like Mario Club or the localization hubs?
We don't really have enough info to say how much is the real total cost to make them, since the leak was GameFreak only I believe.
Good to see that the dev cycles increase from 3 to 4 years for the mainline series it seems. Weird to say I'm happy with longer def cycles, but they needed it.
