I'm thinking that if some of the disciplines and methodologies listed above were introduced into the game software business, we would get more and better for our $39.99 (plus tax).

Agreed!
I work for the past few years in development of integrated AI software of welding robots for the automobile industry. Our software products are not released without 100% tested and proved bug free, however because of the functionality of this software human lives can depend on it during the production process of cars.
A game is however only a game and other software development and engeneering processes are put on it, ...unfortunately!
