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 really think this has got to do with the retailers as the digital versions are eating away their turnover. I don't see many friends buy retail versions anymore for PS vita games as they are slightly cheaper digitally (when they first release) and the effect is, that it's now days even hard to find some games at retailers. So I can imagine that if this happens in the same way with PS3/XBOX360 games the game stores will be empty very rapidly.

But with this I come to another questions: Why do we see lower priced XBOX360/PS3 games at retailers, but Nintendo games don't get any price reductions.
