Can somebody breakdown the $60 price tag for a game and explain why in most cases physical copies are the same price as digital ones?

I think it has to do with retail push back. Wal-Mart wouldn't be too happy if Sony released MGS5 digitally for $29.99 because then they'd either have to compete and lose profit margins, or just not sell the game. Sony doesn't want them to boycott software, so it's a sticky spot for all involved.
