Digital future is slow to transition and digital customers have to suffer.

What I don't get is why MS doesn't offer digital games at 15-20$ lower price digitally, at least for the 1st party games. They want this transition, so why not push for it?

They wanted the transition to control the market. Only competition drives prices so low on PC. For console, you have 2 and sometimes 3 options for multiplats. Especially when they are cutting out the middle man, thats more for the manufacturer, the publisher, and if they're lucky the devs too.

The DRM drives the prices so low on PC on Steam. Instead of having a game that is yours, you have a digital license that can have the pull plugged. If Valves goes bankrupt, every PC gamer on Steam can say goodby to their entire game collection.
