They're bigger for one.  They buy larger quantities as well.  Which makes sense because they are brick and mortar stores.  Which is another factor.  Basically, Amazon is smaller, buys less, and has far less overhead.  

That makes sense. So I guess if Amazon bought as much as Walmart, they'd get the same deal?

I mean, in theory it would help.  But these are all deals negotiated periodically, so it wouldn't happen overnight.  But Amazon is not really interested in increasing its overhead, it just wants that same deal.  Which is where the conflicts come from.  No idea how frequent this is with products outside the game sphere mind you.  Amazon probably has more leverage elsewhere.
