So... PS1 games in 2003 cost about... $60K to make? Damn, inflation in gaming really sucks; it surprises me all that much more that games haven't skyrocketed at retail.

Non-high profile games in Japan? So all those quirky little games developed by Japan, for Japan which have a 50% chance or less of ever being localized for other regions?

I wonder how non-high profile games in the West compare.
