I believe he means polygons. Also, if you're looking for a very professional development team, be prepared to spend several hundred thousands.
You'll probably have much luck here:

He said several hundred thousand, as that's what the development of most commercial games ("real games") cost.

Yes, that is what I am saying.
Today's top games, such as Red Alert 2, Unreal Tournament 2K3, The Sims, etc., they all cost loads and loads of money to design, develop, and market.

Do some research... think about the programmers, designers, animation, projec directors, marketing
and think of them all paid by the hour

Your looking at around $300-$500/hr for a team of coders and designers to make your game. 10 hours per day more or less and around 1 month or so depending on how you want the game to work and what the game consists of. Some games take over 12 months to develope.Unlimited Space & Bandwidth

As I said before, I would rather buy mercedes-benz, a house with 10 bedrooms, bmw, and lots of other stuff instead of one game. Cause if it costs $500/hr for designers to make, then thats more than doctor makes. lol
BTW: $100,000 for a 10-bedroom house? Where is that? I'm interested

well just a small thought,if 2A designs sites for 100k,so is game design as simple as designing a 100k site??
just wondering,and i still think 1,250,000 is not much for a game.
its just like a cartooning"which i know lots about".u'll be spending several millions of u want a good game like EA's.
btw ,in WD cartoon movies,somtimes 30 ppl work on one character...just imagine that» Poised.com - Marketing with Passion

I was involved in the game developing market in the mid 80's for 8bit computers (Z80/6502 CPUs). The top crop of that era cost roughly 40,000 UK pounds to make and involved a small team of graphic artists, coders, designers and testers. Today's middle range games easily cost 10 to 20 times as much.
