"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. 

I am not arguing over if carts are more expensive.They are.I am asking if you have something that indicates that this price difference will result in a bump of 10 dollars in the final product.Mind you, I also think that people throwing around random numbers is a moot point, because they are not precise(even though in most cases those numbers are just to exemplify, not to be hard facts), but accusing people of not having proof, when you yourself have no proof either is hypocrite in my opinion.

You guys are assuming that 3rd party devs/pubs are being greedy and charging more for profit instead of balancing out the costs with no proof. I sourced at least something that explains that there is definitely a higher cost to put a game on NS because of the format. If you're gonna assume the cost at least go with something in the middle that's sensible.
