Sony and Nintendo (MS we don't have the clarity of data) have been racking immense profits on the SW and royalties (on Sony case much more than the combined 3 gens prior), and the PSN profit is even bigger. They are really making money of charging ludicrous amount for a penny cost that should already be covered by the money charged on the games since well you need to play the game you buy. I'm even surprised that silly procon in Brazil have sued Sony and MS against locking part of the content on a second charge for the online feature (and they are sueing apple over the charger on iphone).

What do you mean by silly procon?

Procon is a governamental agency in Brazil that stands for consumer rights upholding the consumer rights law in the country. So they are sueing Apple for breaking these rights when selling without the charger because it is needed for the phone to work. Similarly selling the game with multiplayer and charging for the online is quite close (even worse as in the case of online you need to keep paying). And silly because it is a silly agency that isn't that much effective most of the time (and the sueing is also silly since well the customer feedback is quite accepting of the ridiculous Apple's strategy).
