but the average movie gets made more or less on time and on budget.

Lol. That isn't really true. Going over budget is not uncommon.

Games are different. The technology is changing so fast that the process hasn't had time to really solidify. Every 5-6 years, developers need to learn a whole bunch of new tech from scratch. Movies are a bit like this too, but nowhere close to the same degree. Games from 15 years ago look almost nothing like games made today, while movies haven't changed nearly as much because the medium itself is far more mature.

I think movie making has changed dramatically in 15 years. Everybody has to learn new tech and software constantly in the film industry. But you are right in the sense that better games, by their very nature must be more complicated to make, and this doesn't really have an upper theoretical bound. There is a practical one, which unfortunately means that we might never get the chance to see the best game in the universe.
