Read above your post. I gave you the exact cost. Nintendo is working with Macronix,same as 3DS and DS. Blu Ray os 2 dollars. MASK ROM cost a whopping 2.50.

The numbers look small, but that whopping 50 cent increase represents a 25% increase in cost.

This is a meaningless usage of a percentage. The costs of producing a video game are much greater than the costs of production for the distribution medium. There are retail costs, licensing costs, and of course the costs of development. The final price of the game reflects all of this.
