I thought everyone said one of the benefits of having cartridges was the lower production price?

Third party were mostly 74-79.99 bucks (before taxes).

hmm lets see.. a dual layer BD is 2$ tops.
a 16 gig SD card is 10$.

a 32 gig 15$

here you go plain and simple, considering packaging and shipping fees and all that cost equally as much.
its cheaper than old carts though. n64 games retailed for 80 if I remember correctly...

At launch, but I can't see the prices staying like that.

Just pointing out that the same way that he doesnt have a "source" for what he claims, you also dont have a source for what you claim.Where is a source for carts being more expensive, or rather being more expensive to the point of increasing the price by 10 dollars?

Personally, I dont think carts are that much expensive to bring up this difference to begin with, especially with 16 GB carts.One of these days Im gonna do a research on this topic so we can all do a concenssus.

These are retail prices for the final customer if Im not mistaken.And assuming that Blue ray discs are more popular, they will be cheaper in the final price simply because the retailer makes up in sheer quantity of sales.

The prices we should be comparing are the ones the publishers get when they order a batch in the factory where the cartriges are manufactured.Will they be more expensive?Sure.But will it be significant enough to rack up the price like that?Thats the question.

I doubt these value are accurate and how do you explain that in other countries like Australia there is price parity on all systems for L.A. Noire?

"According to Eurogamer, Switch cards come in a wide range of capacities - 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB - and as you might imagine, the larger the size, the more the card costs to physically make."

Here's is the article he was referring to. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-03-10-why-nintendo-switch-games-are-ending-up-more-expensive

At least I have some sort of source on this. Most on here are just lowballing the costs to $2 to 3 instead of the full difference because they rather try to paint 3rd party devs as being greedy so they jacked up the price for profit increases instead of the asisinine format just making the games cost more. 

You forgot to mention that 3rd party devs/pubs are entirely at fault for the higher prices. 

N64 games were mostly 1.5-3 times as much as PSX games in Europe. As much as 10X as much as PC versions of games.

I am not sure why LA Noire costs more on Switch, but it's not going to stop me from purchasing it.
