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.

Knowing how much it costs to produce a cartridge is not enough, we also don't know how much Nintendo is charging for the lisence fee.

Blu-ray for example has a $0.11 lisencing fee aside from the cost of the disc itself. Nintendo could very well be charging a few dollars for it on top of the cost of the cartidge.
