You're comparing 99 cent mp3 downloads that can easily be purchased on a whim to $40-60 games. PC games = Steam, which runs sales on quality games for bargain bin prices all of the time, many of them fairly new. Ebooks are also on sale quite often, if not outright free because of modern library services.

If Nintendo decides to start offering extremely cheap games that can be bought on impulse or doing huge flash sales, then maybe it could work. But a digital-only console that requires $40-60 per game isn't as comparable to mp3 players, PC gaming and eBooks as you think.

Steam has plenty of full price $60 games and the eshop has plenty of sales and price drops. Let's not make shit up now.
