I would like to add that digital should be cheaper/or retail more expensive with 10 to 15 bucks with AAA games and 5 to 10 with B games

Agreed.  All digital needs to go the Steam route to be honest.  Even Nintendo.  I was looking through the Eshop last night and it annoyed me that they were selling games that are a decade old for $7.  

The only time Steam games are cheap is during the sales. The rest of the time most of the games are even more expensive than retail. And about old games:

Just an example - Valve still sells Half-Life 1 for 10€. Why shouldn't Nintendo be allowed to sell Ocarina of Time - which is only two years older - for 10€? GOG.com would have been a better example, with most games between 3-5€.
