With physical games gone, there would be no real incentive to lower the prices. Why should they? Either you buy them from us, or you walk away. And even if dedicated videogame stores are becoming smaller and smaller, the big retailers around the world still sell them. In fact, because they are massive markets, they can afford to buy in bulk way more copies of games per store than the smaller videogame retailers, decreasing the price (not to mention online stores for such products).

curious question: Do you think the console makers will raise their cut, once digital is majority?

No, but by the same token, they won0t feel the need to decrease it. And with less options to get games, they will become more expensive overall.
