"Developing games is an expensive task on the GameCube.
The CESA (computer Entertainment Supplier's Association), has recently conducted an analysis of the Japanese games market and brought up a rather interesting fact.
Games development on the GameCube is currently the most expensive of all the formats with an average cost per game of ¥72Million (€525,000).
The cheapest console to develop for was the PSOne, with an average cost of ¥14Million (€102,000).
This data is based on the analysis of results obtained from 43 Japanese software producers."
