EDIT :

To sum up : 32gb card + platform fee + packaging costs is 20$ approximately whereas it's around 12$ for PS4 / XBO (60% more, like Zhuge said)

So if in the near future there is some games that require more then 32 GB , we will fuckituff 

It's intended to be an example of how the audience can and will avoid games that go overboard on the extra price. There's a reason the "Atlus tax" is being dropped going forward on the 3DS.

Heck, every $50 LE on the 3DS released by Altus (with the exception of Stella Glow), I've found discounted, new.

Yes it's posible for sure,  everithing can but it will be less expensive then Switch games for sure 

But Sony could become more greedy and charge a bigger platform fee, making italways cost more than Switch games.Goddamn you platform fees!

Yes they could, but they are are not charging it for  LA Noire. And also they already charge people with their online fee. SO that's fair for them. 

"When we spoke to analyst Daniel Ahmad, he stated that he feels publishers using a 32GB game card are very unlikely to price a game lower than $40 due to their margins, but at the same time it is not like they will start attempting to charge exorbitant prices such as $70 or $80 either – we thankfully won't see a return to the days of the SNES and N64. $60 full price games will remain $60 full price games, because the margin is high enough. However, pricing less than $40 is felt to be a real challenge from a business point of view for publishers. Let’s not forget that another slice of the pie goes for the retailer’s cut for selling the games; it's a delicate balance."

i think they charge 3rd party publisher as well , and also if there is some deal with it the price can be diffrent,  and also because you mention that . It even more posible they increase the price then the normal standard price ( EA did this a long time ago )

Interesting thread, haha.

I suggest reading this article- http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/09/feature_exploring_the_switch_tax_and_why_nintendo_was_right_to_use_game_cards

I also want to make clear, I'm not defending publishers or Nintendo or anything like that. I'm simply explaining the cost of carts and how that can lead to games being priced higher. I suggest reading the article in full as it should provide a good overview of everything.

Then why is L.A. Noire the same price for all three platforms in some regions?

Also why is FIFA18 $10 cheaper on switch than PS4/ONE for some regions?
