Why the fuck do retards claim this tiny ass thing is more expensive to make than a fucking giant ass disc? Put a Switch cartridge and a PS4 disc next to each other and wonder where all that money is going. Fucking dumbass fanboys trying to excuse the inflated prices of Switch games

I'd be afraid to lose it

Shut up, the switch is perfect. Nintendo can unironically do no wrong.
Die.

Nintenfags will defend this

I'm not an engineerfag but I heard making shit like this really small is actually incredibly complex and expensive

Which is more expensive to make: a large block of uncooked spam, or a small bowl of chicken alfredo?

Get your ass back to r eddit, cuck boy

A Bluray disk is a bit of plastic with a reflective layer. A Switch cartridge has flash rom chips that in larger capacities cost more money than pressing a disk.

It has nothing to do with size, it has to do with materials and the production process. Cartridges are definitely more expensive to make but they absolutely still shouldn't be more expensive to buy because the switch has cut corners in so many other areas like the garbage joy con design and the flimsy feel of the console itself, not to mention the last gen hardware.

Pretty sure theres something about retailers not carryign their shit if they make digital releases cheaper than physical ones. I could just be making it up though, but im sure i read it somewhere

Sony games are about to become $80.

Discs are made almost entirely out of plastic which makes them extremely cheap to mass produce. A cartridge contains printed circuitry which requires more sophisticated tools to create and a lot more materials.

Go back to plebbit and while you're there, learn about different storage formats. Discs are cheap as fuck to make, but faster storage like cartridges come at a premium regardless of size. Access speeds always come at a premium.

Sorry GoW HZD and Spiderman are $5 bargain bin trash while BotW is a $60 masterpiece and also massively outsold them

The switch cartridge is smaller(ill give you that) but its packed in with way more technology. Its very similar to the joycon, in which it seems small and when opened up the board doesnt look too complex but the actual tech included is incredibly dense

>A little piece of nand is expensive
No, it's the dumb retarded format they went with that made it expensive. Nintendo could have just gone for SDCards but chose not to.

Though, still can't get over how the dork souls remastered release went for a 7GB card, but then had to remove some sound effects:

Oops forgot my trip. I posted this. I can provide a screencap if necessary

>provide a screencap if necessary
please do

Go compare the price of a blank blurays to a sd card of equal size.

>avoiding the fact that the game is still retardly costly as digital format

I like this bait. Have a (You).

You can buy a spindle of 50 25GB bluray discs for about $20 or about 40 cents a piece. A 32GB SD card costs what, $8? That's 20 times more expensive.

>console feels flimsy
thing survives 100ft. drops and other stress tests, it's a nintendium alloy

>uncooked spam
alfredo is cheaper because in the 2021 race riots all cans of spam were stolen by a black man calling him self "big nigga" flying the blimp "bigger nigger" asking for 3 women per can of spam.

nice meme!

This is why I buy physical whenever possible

Sounds about right. Stores want to stay relevant

Fuck discs, fuck cartridges.There is no point in owning physical media with newer games. Name 1 AAA game that didn't receive constant huge updates that are required for the game to be played functionally. You will never completely "own" your games anymore, so just give up, and start buying games through marketplaces exclusively. You can't win.

>pirate switch game
>stuff it on SD card
Bam, physical copy

Maybe it could bare minimum function when you turn it on but the whole system is not surviving, not buying that for a nano-second. Parts will be damged. Gamecube on the other hand was truly a brick.
