^^ no way Ubisoft's Red Steel development cost is already approximately $12.75 million. And that game wasn't that great neither.



Soriku, you're full of shit. No game costs freakin' 70 million dollars to develop.

I would say around 8 million or so. A lot of developers could just use a pre-existing engine from their PS2 and GameCube games. That reduce developments costs a lot for the Wii, as it does for the HD consoles.

oh, sorry.

I would put my money on around $30 w/o any advertising and so on.

I'm pretty sure MGS4 is treading along the 60-70 mil line >_>

And 8 mil? ROFL. Red Steel was over 12 mil.


Look at who made Red Steel... They didn't take the proper steps in minimizing development costs.

Gears of War was 10m. You would think a Wii game wouldn't cost as much as Gears if the developer took advantage of what the Wii has to offer.

I would guess 1,5 maybe 100 on a rainy day.

Why Sor? Are you gonna save up to do your own Kingdom Hearts game for the Wii? :)



Predictions for December 31st 2008:
Wii 38,000,000
DS 84,500,000
PS3 17,000,000
PSP 41,000,000
X360 23,000,000

I thought I heard rumors of SMG being upwards of 30-35m. So I would assume that much :x



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

I'd say less than $10 Million , a good game 15-30 Million but I dought Wii titles would get much more costly.

This kinda information isn't regularly released so it's kinda impossible to tell unless your in the industry.




I guess somewhere in the range of 20-30 million dollars
