Ultimately it comes down to what investors understand. Investors don't understand gameplay, they understand brand and opulence, so they push for that. Surely if they tell the players they've spent the annual GDP of Romania on this game people will be more likely to buy it, surely that won't backfire and make them judge it to higher standards instead.
Meanwhile 910 gives the Animal Crossing guy green light to make a little inexpensive side project, and it outsells PS4's biggest hits. On a fucking WiiU. Yes, Nintendo's brand helped, but in the end, it sold WiiUs to people who would previously play Halo. Not an exaggeration, I personally know a guy who did that.
Also see- Minecraft, Rocket League, even Fortnite, all started as low-budget side projects with nothing but gameplay backing them up, and all ended up as some of the biggest games of our generation.
