That's a number is you guys came up with by guessing. If not, then provide a source. If it's higher than that figure of yours then the price makes sense considering that nintendo takes a cut out of it. So they have to raise it higher for the difference. Regardless, nintendo chose a more expensive format for it's console instead of using a standard that's used by everyone. It just resulting in nintendo fans having to pay the difference. 

Just pointing out that the same way that he doesnt have a "source" for what he claims, you also dont have a source for what you claim.Where is a source for carts being more expensive, or rather being more expensive to the point of increasing the price by 10 dollars?

Personally, I dont think carts are that much expensive to bring up this difference to begin with, especially with 16 GB carts.One of these days Im gonna do a research on this topic so we can all do a concenssus.

"According to Eurogamer, Switch cards come in a wide range of capacities - 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB - and as you might imagine, the larger the size, the more the card costs to physically make."

Here's is the article he was referring to. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-03-10-why-nintendo-switch-games-are-ending-up-more-expensive

At least I have some sort of source on this. Most on here are just lowballing the costs to $2 to 3 instead of the full difference because they rather try to paint 3rd party devs as being greedy so they jacked up the price for profit increases instead of the asisinine format just making the games cost more.
