And if you order blu-ray discs by volume of at least 10000's (distribution of smaller volumes to retail doesn't make much sense) you can get a unit price around $0.75 for a 25 GB Blu-ray disc (multicolored printing included): http://www.quickturnduplication.com/html/blu-ray-duplication-prices.php

I think Nintendo could get even lower prices, and in the future these are going to become even cheaper.

They can offset that issue by just selling every physical game for a few more $ though.

Hurray for more expensive Nintendo games, the fans will love that!

And a great way to repair the relationship to third parties. Will multi-platform retail games cost "just a few more $" on NX than on PS4 + XBO? Or will the third parties price them the same and have less profit on the NX-version?
