The competition uses blurays and by now a 16gb cartridge costs he same as a 25gb bluray disc.

PS4/XBO blurays are 50gb, back in 2017 an 8gb card was about on par with the PS4's blurays in terms of costs. So yeah, by now hopefully costs have reduced and a 16gb is now about parity with the PS4/XBO's discs, though I've found literally no recent information about cartridge costs, so that's just speculation.

Your game needs to be less than 8GB (because 8GB carts are cheaper) if you want to make the same margin as PS4/XB1 Blu-Ray disc.

Considering how much the prices for Flash memory crashed down since late last year and the slowly increasing production prices for Blu-Ray (because less and less are being made), it's actually possible that 32GB cartridges are now costing about as much as a 50GB double-layered Blu-Ray Disc  amd the 16GB about as much as a standard Blu-Ray disc in production.
