Here's a question to you then, in the UK main retail price for computer games has been £40 for years, back in the 90s it was £50 with cartidges, but this isn't RRP, the RRP is £10-15 more. A RRP of £55 game is 69Euros (Destiny RRP is £55 and RRP in europe is 70 Euros).
Comparitively they are the same based on RRP but our retails are odd it seems, they compete a lot in prices of media, games especially. An RRP will instantly get lowered by £10 even in high steet stores, supermarkets able to lower it more even, this is because us as customers hate to buy games over a certain price it seems, £50 being a limit unless it's a special edition or someting. So why doesn't mainland Europe do this? Why do the retailers stick to the high prices?
Hmm, pie.
