To be fair, he does clarify it isn't quite that simple. But it does destroy this $20 nonsense as that woulc constitute a 1000% increase in fabrication costs alone. Edit: to clarify, going by his elaborations and the breakdown of what 60 dollars goes to, you are looking at an increase in costs for publishers of 2 to 5 or maybe 6 dollars, depending on publisher relations, number of carts ordered, etc. If ai were to hazard a guess, on average the difference is probably split so 3 or 4 dollars of addded cost. 6 and 2 would be extremes. And that's for a $60 on a 32GB cart. |
The thing is not all regions are impacted the same way with price as I shown examples in previous posts. I do agree with you that ehy do cot more then a BluRay disc but not $10+ range more.
This is why I think the local Nintendo in each region plays some part is the price becaue they get allocated money based on sales for promotios in their regions from what I was told by the Nintendo rep in Australia. Now this wa a few years ago when Wii was at it's peak and I was getting a replacement disc. If it happens now who knows? in my opion i think it does a it would make no sense to have price partiy in some regions and not in other. Even in some cases the Switch version is $10 cheaper than PS4/ONE here.
Essentially we are arguign about oen game in one region instead of looking at the bigger picture.
