Here is an Ars-Technica article that I was referring to (well, actually I was thinking of a diffrent article about the same sales report, but this is the one I found) making reference to Macronix selling 32GB ROMs to Nintendo at BD price. |
You're miss reading the article, there they say "The biggest detail lacking in Screen Critics' report is any confirmation that Macronix's next fiscal year will include a ramping-up of 32GB-capacity chips—and selling such chips to Nintendo at a cost comparable to Blu-ray discs. "
'lacking' perhaps english isnt your native language bu they're not saying they're going to cost roughly similar to blu-ray. In fact the rest of the article says the ROMs are going to be more expensive than blu-ray, but they're speculating. I want actual data.
I did go online with alibaba, the cheapest place on the web to buy stuff, and the best deal I could find were blank ROM's at smaller capacity to a blu-ray costing 500% more, not 5% more 500% more. 500% more for less capacity and they're blank, The bluray is with the game written onto it.
I agree rom's are better for a portable device like the switch, but they're certainly not as cheap
