Publishers decide the pricing of their own titles. Only first party games Sony will control.

But even then they've said the games will still be available at other retailers.

Retailers will have very little reason to have sales or discounts on games, they don’t make anything off of digital stuff. It’s not the same as a digital storefront. 

Unless things change drastically next gen, SNY is in a position to take a bigger cut of the profits for game sales on their platform, within reason.

What are third parties going to do in an all digital future? Refuse to launch for PS hardware or refuse to sell on the PS5/PS6 storefront post 2028?

Ya... right. Here comes $90-$100 games.
