Yeah, I looked this up earlier and saw similar numbers. A game like Braid cost ~$200,000 from what I saw though, so for more independent games I would suppose that the cost would vary. A sexual video game would probably require more emphasis on graphics and detail to make it convincing, which may not be feasible on a lower budget.

Braid was atypical in terms of cost for an indie game.

What a sex game would need depends on the art style. One could do a very stylised game with less and still get a good chunk of people off. Photorealism is, of course, a problem, but not everyone needs it.

Again, just look at Japan.

Is that for games as a whole or just major titles? 28 Mil seems like a lot when you consider that not every title is a big budget deal.
