The one cool piece of information is that the average game cost a little over $6m. Obviously we don't know if these are SD or HD games, or if they are downloadable or retail. Obviously they are most likely a mix of everthing.

That's 6 million per year, not total. A lengthy title can easily swallow 20 million over 3 years or so.

that thought crossed my mind, but I took it as $x funded the complete development of #y games that released in 2008 or 2009.

It also doesn't state if the venture capitalists were the sole source of funding for each project.
