You could also say that games on the Switch should be more expensive since you're basically paying for two versions of the game.

Switch versions of games are more expensive, but not for the reason that you think.

Ofcourse its ridiculous, few examples dont change fact that over 90% games have same price point over all current platforms. Talking about Persona specifkly, games that are released last gen and curent gen also, can have lower price point compared to curent gen game beacuse they are last gen and sales on last gen are much lower compared to curent gens, so sometime they have lower price point so more people would buy them. Fact is that regular price point for AAA game on Wii/PS3/360/WiiU was $60, now its same price point for PS4/XB1/Switch. Again, with your point on mind, why same games on XB1 dont have lower price point compared to PS4, or why same games on Pro/X dont have higher price point compared to PS4/XB1,  simple beacuse graphics/performance of multiplatform games never effects on price point of those games.

Nah, he totally ignoring fact that with Switch you get full home console game and full handheld game in one pack with each game. He even tried comparing Switch game price point to Vita/Vita TV, lol.

Puyo Puyo Tetris. On PS4 the game costs $29.99, but on Switch it's $39.99.

Rime. on Switch cost $40, compared to $30 for the PS4 and Xbox One versions.

Since I'm the only one posting irrefutable factual evidence here, let me just say no one else cared to consider the cost of a cartridge. Blu-Ray discs has quite a bit of production hubs you can get it done by, but proprietary production factories for cartridges are not so common.

But what exactly few of your examples proof, you do realise that all you are examples are exceptions!? Are you really trying to say that games for Switch would had lower price point than PS4/XB1 if Switch games are not or cartridges!? Talking about price of cartridges (flash memory), Vita/3DS games are on cartridges and their price point is $40 compared to $60 on home consoles.

Like wrote, fact is that regular price point for AAA game on Wii/PS3/360/WiiU was $60, now its same price point for PS4/XB1/Switch. Again, with your point on mind, why same games on XB1 dont have lower price point compared to PS4, or why same games on Pro/X dont have higher price point compared to PS4/XB1,  simple beacuse graphics/performance of multiplatform games never effects on price point of those games.
