$265m is development and marketing. Which I'd bet a pretty solid percentage is marketing.  

I'm pretty sure Sony would say it has some AAA games, but by that definition Uncharted 4, Horizon aren't even close to AAA.  
AAA budget is dev + marketing costs.

GTAV dev cost was probably way over $100m... it was the first attempt on MP too.

Yes. Sony has some AAA investment but Ubisoft slide only lists 3rd parties.

Pretty strange to only call 100m plus aaa
Why? AAA is highest expensive dev + marketing cost... it is a risk investment.

At the end of generation this AAA will be way over $100m I guess because dev + marketing cost increase every year.
