Fair enough. Howabout "Distribution of PC games on tangible media is a dying business? Is that better?
Anyway, it still comes down to basic notions of supply and demand. People are still buying Bioshock on the 360 for $60, and not for the PC, therefore the PC price drops while the 360 price remains. If the drop to $30 on the PC causes the sales for BS 360 to dry up, then it's price, too, will come down. It's the most basic of economic principles, one that explains most of the pricing irregularities in retail, and it is very much in the hands of the consumer. Why more people can't recognize this is beyond me.
