  How many times do we have to go over this?  We KNOW for a stone cold fact that 8GB and bellow is equal to or cheaper than a PS4 disc.  

Therefore there is no excuse - none, zero, zilch - for this kind of behavior.  It's cheap, anti-consumer BS.  End of story.  People should be upset over this.  This is just insulting.  Cause it is NOT the system, it's the company.  This is entirely on Capcom.  

If that's the case then it must not be the companies and instead Nintendo keeping the prices hiked. Some games cost ten quid more on switch, if you are correct it's definitely not the publishers who are keeping those prices up, no one wants that PR. If it is Nintendo they need to stop it immediately and bring down prices before kids and teenagers start hacking there systems, at worst breaking there systems so they can't buy Nintendo games and at best taking a chunk out of sales through piracy. Nintendos prices have always been high but this is ridiculous.

No, no, NO.  The price I am referring to is what developers pay.  An 8GB cart costs the same or slightly less to put on the shelf for 3rd parties as a PS4 disc.  There's no Nintendo pricing shenanigans at play at those capacities, PERIOD.  We've known about the costs of these carts for 3rd parties for a year now.  What you have here is Capcom seeing an opportunity to have even higher margins on Switch than PS4 by being cheapskates.  And is this really shocking looking at Capcom's history of opportunism?  Stop blaming Nintendo for a BS move brought to you by the same company that has pulled enough crap over the years to fill multiple books.
