Here we go again: Switch games cost more due to cartridges?

I don't really agree with that logic. Even if cartridges do cost more than DVDs (that is a fact), the difference between prices is too much to justify it. Does every copy of the Switch game need to be 10€ more expensive than the other platforms due to cartridge? Is there really that much of a price difference? That is a really big difference. I really just think they are overcharging now due to the Switch not having that many games as of right now.

Saw a similar point being made in regards to price difference on reddit, and the reply was to consider that there may be thousands of places manufacturing blu-rays for every one place making NS cartridges, thus making it more difficult to keep prices lower or something...

But the difference is not 4-5€, it's 10€. If what you said was the case, are NS cartridges that different from DS/3DS ones? Those managed to keep their prices around 40-45€, and Nintendo still was the only one manufacturing DS/3DS cartridges.
