The advantage is $7.20 per third party game.... but there's a lot more going on.

1st party games the advantage is a lot higher. $15 from retailer... cost of shipping/producing disk+case... so could be as much as $20 extra from selling digital directly than a physical copy.

Then there's also the advantage that digital only users cannot buy used games, but not just this they also can't add to the used games market by selling their own copies.

So third party +$7.20 each
1st party +$20? each (probably $12-$13 if bought at $40)
and it also reduces the used games market.

Just noticed you used $40 price figure for third party, same figure 1st party games would probably get like idk $12-$13 benefit, still more than third party. Let's also not forget we have 1st party games launching at $70...
