I'm missing games.. Wasn't max payne 3 also a 100 million.. shenmue 70 million etc.. And gta 5 is with marketing costs while others are not.. Modern Warfare 2 had for example a 100+ million marketing budget


wasn't shenmue the game where even if everyone bought it that owned a dreamcast it still wouldn't be profitable?

Star Wars the Old Republic had like ~$200 million budget (dunno if official figure). A few millions shy of GTA V

I wonder how much wii fit and the balance board made?



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I don't believe FF7 cost 45m to make...

Do they have any nintendo gamees listed? I cannot see graph on my phone.


Mario Kart Wii and Wii Play



Shenmue should be near the top of this list. It cost more to make then majority of the games on that list.

Not on the list of expensive games.

Only on the list of games that made a shit ton of money.



I'd be surprised if a single number on that list is even within 10% of being accurate, especially when marketing is what usually costs the most.
