It's not too expensive
Some years ago a 1GB SD card costed 20€, now a 8Gb SD costs 20€

And how much does a DVD cost?

SD cards are fine for people to use as rewritable media. For game distribution you'd either use optical media (DVD/Blu-ray) or ROM media like the DS (plus maybe some flash for gamesaves). But for the capacities that console games require, optical media is still cheaper.

ROM will get better soon enough, I think.

I was trying to find some data on that, but it's not that easy. I found an article saying a 4 MB ROM cost 160-190 yen back in 2003, but that was it so far.

@TomaTito: Actually it's not a SD card. It's ROM memory plus some flash/EEPROM for saving games.
