Store margins on consoles are tiny, in the range of 5% if they are lucky often.  The titanfall download code would cost less than a dollar to print on a card.  

I actually KNOW what the store margins are in several European countries. It is NOWHERE what you write here. And are you really suggesting that Respawn/EA would simply look aside when MS gives away for free THEIR game? What a strange idea..

What are they then? My understanding is that they are and have always been extremely slim, with margins made up on software.

And no, I am not suggesting that at all.  But I think it likely that deals were sorted out between EA and MS on the Titanfall issue long before the console launched...

They are around what you said Starcraft. Both consoles have 7-10% margin at a nationwide retailer in the UK.

Yes that was my understanding.

Software and accessories is where the retail margin is at.
