It's pretty hard to say. If you take 3rd party games currently announced for Wii I'd say the average target to break even could be less than 100k due to so many of them being really low budget. I'd say No More Heroes and FFCC are the only known projects that dev's are assigning significant resources to but they still pale in comparison to what 3rd partys are spending on PS3/360. |
I think Zack and Wiki, Nights 2, Dewy's Adventure, RE:UC and a few more have a reasonable budget to them. It's a shame really cause I would really like to see more games on the Wii which seem like the company are aiming to make the same quality product like they do with X360 / PS3 (And I'm sure it'll happen now the Wii is selling so well!).
I know different games are different budgets, but lets say for the higher budget more impressive Wii games like the ones mentioned above, my head tells me it'll be around 200k-300k, anyone else got any thoguhts?
