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

I didn't mention sd cards at any point.
