The money side of things is difficult to judge because the game was in dev hell. What has to be said though is that Microsoft may have money but they don't have to be completely careless about spending it, their internal budgeting may have been let's say 50 million(I have no source its random number) for the game and maybe the rework from coop into full single player game allowed Feargus to get some more because it took some time etc. They may also have a policy of giving studios given amount of money every year and allowing them to go loose, but adjust it depending on some metrics, so unless some financial report comes out of MS we won't know how much was spent on it.
