I don't think Sony cares what amazon does with the prices as long as they get their usual share.

But wouldn't they get less share now? I mean, we have a new party now, someone needs to make less money. Sony was a monopolist, and since you still need a PlayStation device to play games that you buy, it could have stayed that way and you had to buy from Sony's PSN store.

Amazon's share, most likely, will be tiny.  They typically don't make much money per purchase and that will probably be even more the case here.  Instead, they will try to make money with volume and with associated purchases.  That's where Amazon's profit comes from, customers going for one thing and buying three things.

I'm very pleased with this.  Yay for wishlists.  Now they just need to let us "borrow" one game a month with Prime like they do with books!
