are you serious?it costs around $3 million to port a game for big companies (it's just programing cost)

if it sells 300K on Ps3(assuming that $30 of $60 is for EA)then they are already in profit for the port version.

 

O.. wow.. what was I thinking.. I'm sorry, didn't know you have the spending accounts for the developers.

Can you tell me how much they spend on post-its, and paper clips? j/k

 

but seriously,

Programming + BR Discs + Imaging + Testing + Packaging + Marketing = More then 3 million.

It's like you child wanting a pet hamster and saying "it only cost $9.00", but when you walk out the pet store with the cage, food, bedding, food bowl, water bottle, you spent $50.00.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

This won't be on Wii, this is Bioware making the game after all. :P

Which means it will be amazing on the PC and suck on everything else.
