I honestly am tired of hearing of MewTwo...it is a milestone, and it show's that games are in the realm of movie production in terms of cost and marketing.

It's also approaching the same amount of time you get to spend enjoying a movie, if this poll [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.156405] is to be believed....

I've always said that quality beats quantity, but really- $50 million in development costs for this game? I would LOVE to see an actual breakdown of what was spent where. And TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS FOR MARKETING?! I must really be out of touch, because the first I ever heard of the game was on a news article right here on the Escapist, and I can count the number of times I've seen ads for the game (outside of the Internet) on one hand.

I have to agree here. Could they not have simply, I dunno, spent more of that advertising money on things like dedicated servers, and sorting out the awful multiplayer imbalances?
