I kind of feel bad for buying physical games at $20 now. If I'm reading that right, the publisher only gets $3 on a $20 physical sale, versus $13 on a $20 digital sale. No wonder the publishers are pushing digital so hard. 

They could always spend less money on the games themselves to increase profits. No one is putting a gun to their heads here. 

This. Other than a few exceptions like Final Fantasy, I find that most of the hundred million dollar games are kind of lackluster. I'm sure Nintendo didn't spend anywhere near the amount of money making Breath of the Wild or Super Mario Odyssey that Ubisoft does making an AssCreed game, yet I'd much rather play either one of those games than any Ubisoft game.
