My question has to do with the cost of creating a game. For myself, I plan on growing my graphic art/website business until I can start using the profits to start investing in creating a game. This may not be the most traditional way to do it, but my game ideas have a better chance of being implemented if I own the company.
To create a simple Nintendo DS game, how much money should the company be prepared to invest? What about a Playstation 3 title?
I've heard developers say starting out making games with Adobe Flash is the best way to showcase your creative talents, but that was more to do with a company buying your idea and running with it.
There are tons of Flash games out there, barely any of which make money.
My plan is to start out small, creating little $5 games you see in discount bins in Wal*Mart, then over time, using the resources and engines created for those games to make bigger and more ambitious games.

DS games can be made on the cheap... former Flash games have been ported over to it and been succesful.
PS3 though... start looking into seven figures.
