In every single market PC games cost much less than console, even more because of piracy and Steam deals...

Also the marginal cost of SW is neglible compared to Console, you are just complaining about economic issues that you haven't really looked at and just assume companies just want to screw customers.

Just a small tip, companies like profits, so if they thought they could profit more by lowering the price they would, if they aren't doing is either because sales won't compensate the lost margin or they already don't have much margin.

I'm talking about brand new games. They cost $20 on Steam and $60 on PS4. That makes a huge difference to the cost of a console. $60 is 15 percentage the price of a console. 6 games at full price and software costs are near that of the hardware cost. PS Plus makes that go beyond the initial cost of the console.

And why do you think publishers focus a lot more on consoles??? Also most PC gamers from what I know releases for 40, main reason for the difference is the royalty for the platform holder and another chunk is the store profit (which for digital they keep the same price to not predate their own market). Still I fail to see your claim of Sony or any other console holder trying to screw their customer, as I said it's much more you wanting companies to please you individualy even if they would lose money.
