The $400 million line shows how far some random guy's unverified opinion can go.
It absolutely didn't cost more than GTA 5.
$400M has been refuted by several sources at this point, but there are lots of ways to have spent more than GTA V given that it was developed in a very different era than Concord was. The first handful of Halo games, including those on 360, were some of the biggest games of their day, and they'd all be considered quite cheap by today's standards.
