This is a flash chip, not an old school cart. I assure you the difference between a high capacity blue ray and a MROM chip is not $10. Even the 32 gig isn't. Even if we buy into the line companies put out that there's no good margins in flash drives (mostly bs btw, they wouldn't be in the business if the money wasn't there), I would still peg the actual cost of a 32 gig Game Card at $5, I believe $3 over a PS4 blue ray disc. The specific $10 figure is frankly a matter of habit on the part of devs as well as capitalizing on the fact people think carts=super expensive. Also, likely bracing for lower sales vs PS4, wanting bigger margins to offset lower volume. Of course, this move guarantees lower volume so yeah, self fulfilling prophecy thinking. |
Right? It's like 3rd parties don't even WANT to create Nintendo as a viable third platform. This game might turn out to be one of their future excuses to stop supporting the Switch somewhere down the road.
