They will probably cut the price just before or after the launch of the PS5/new XBox. For the games, the cartridges are more expensive than DVDs and they don't want to push the digital market by making them cheaper.

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

I was still half-asleep. Of course it was bluray vs cartridge.

And could you notice that a Switch Cartridge isn't a standard SD card? Also, the cost per Gigabyte is something like 4 cent for a Blu-Ray. A 16Gb SD card should cost less than a dollar to be on par. Then you add the cost of the case 'standard for a bluray, propretary for Nintendo), etc.

You are confusing SSD with SD Card. Also, the drop happened before 2017, you could buy a 64Gb SD Card for about 10 buck in 2017. The recent "crash" is for higher capacities
