Hey, I'm just repeating what every publisher and developers that has commented on it has said. As far as a "Nintendo" bonus, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Some publishers had premium pricing (even Atlus had the gall to charge $50 for stuff on 3DS), but I don't recall commentary on that as a Nintendo bonus.

As far as PPT, I'm not sure. The cost of Switch carts are more than 3DS carts, so it's not quite a direct comparison. Eventually, publishers will just hurt the higher cost for the medium, as publishers did when they complained about the more expensive cost of printing blurays in 2006.

The "Nintendo bonus" is that Nintendo console owners get to pay more without getting more; I put it in quotations because it's not really a bonus, but rather a penalty. Pricing of 3DS games, or really any exclusive games, isn't going to get criticized in the same way because there are no other gaming systems that are better off.

What makes Switch cards more expensive than 3DS cards? I have to assume that you are again repeating what publishers have said, namely those who were asked why their games cost more on Switch than on other platforms. But there's no way that a €10 difference can be justified.

I don't have a specific breakdown in cost, just that everything is stating the same thing. I don't think a $10 markup is justified, but I think that's done out of convience because games are priced at $30/40/50/60, not in between those numbers.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
