It's also nice to see these things getting directly acknowledged, as that likely means that this's also generated some good impact internally. Especially given the slightly shaky circumstances with PS5-exclusivity meaning that they're more sales limited, hopefully this makes it so that the team working on part 3 is able to breathe a little bit easier, too.

People don’t have to be worried about the budget of Part 3 they have outlined those things long before even the first part came out.

Being very rigidly constrained to a predetermined budget vs. being able to flexibly operate with access to slightly more budget if needed often produce very different end results.

Even if you're got a big multi-year undertaking like this, the financial performance metrics of any interim release still impact the resources that you have access to for subsequent parts. Releases being successful gives a LOT more wiggle room because it means the executives aren't squeezing that budget around something that's not getting them an expected RoI. While you can loosely ballpark estimate those things around an MVP (minimum viable product), there's absolutely no way to know what the final cost will ACTUALLY end up being until it's all said & done by the time you've gotten each piece to a point of what you're ready to have for public release.

Thus while it's not really any concern that they won't have the budget to finish part 3, strong sales mean that the budget is unlikely to undercut the development of things that they want to do in part 3.
