Nah both MS and Sony get their 30% as well.

That makes me want to buy digital games a whole lot less. I know physical has alot of upfront costs as well; the disc, the in-case inserts, the case itself, the cost of shipping the game to retailers, and the retailers cut of the sale, but there's no way they're losing 30% on physical sales, or else they couldn't afford to sell physical games at $10 late in their life. 

I could be wrong, but a few years back, I think I remember reading publishers only make like $30 from each full-priced physical game. Digital is better for publishers, but you can't sell digital games, so it's also worse for a lot of consumers.
