Again the big 3 have the cost of producing the hardware which is risky and only get a small cut from retail sales which still makes up over half of AAA game sales. 

These PC stores don't have the risk of hardware R&D so don't deserve 30% imo. To name just a few the ps3, Wii U and 360 were all hardware disasters and badly needed their software revenue to keep them viable. 

 

Lets agree to disagree

 

i think the big 3 needs to shake things up, streaming is gonna get huge in the future so the hardware costs is something that won’t be a issue in the future. 

 

MS and Sony are already looking into it and both corporations have a ton of money to spend on R&D - things are looking good for the future of gaming :)

Agreed but I'd just say that's the future so as things stand I think they're entitled to their cut. Sony have a really good streaming service in the making and it's up to them how many first party titles it gets to ensure it succeeds.

However I hope we always get the option of a dedicated box because I like to own my games and download them.
