The reason why retail games are less expensive is because the market decides, and the market ussually drop the price very quick as they have to get rid of the stuff for new games. Digital can make unlimited amount of copies without any logistic problems

What you say is not incorrect, but it does not tell the whole story. As the Ubisoft representative recently said, publishers intentionally reduce the price of retail copies so they sell out in stores. Therefore, the retailers are willing to make larger orders when the next game comes out. Digital copies should cost less than physical copies, because there is no disc, manual, box, boxart, shipping costs, and most importantly, no retailer's cut. Publishers are giving in to retailer's demands, and it's hurting gamers.
