Are we talking about retailers in general, or video game retailers?
In the case of Amazon - they're already on the right track for having the best deals on video games. If you're a Prime member, you're guaranteed a $47.99 on new games releases and you're also guaranteed to get on release day. That's $12 cheaper than the MSRP you'll find at ALL the retailers. I even got Overwatch a day early from Amazon back in 2016. And the Prime discount is also applied to Special/Collectors Editions of new video games as well.
Mark my words, Amazon will be THE go-to place for video game purchases in 5 years. Regardless if it's digital/physical copies.
If you're a gamer, being a Prime member pays itself off REALLY fast.
