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€.

Steam sells most AAA games for a $50 entry point instead of $60 which is what I was referring to.  As for Nintendo Over pricing games that are decades old I stand behind that.  They dont have the steam like sales either to lower that price.

no, pc games just cost 10 or even 20 bucks less. that's the same when you buy a pc game at retail and it was like that 10 years ago without steam. there are no royalties on pc, that's why console games cost 10 bucks more.

Interesting.  Didn't know that.  I haven't bought a retail PC game in a long time.
