MODERATORS
For me they're still on par in terms of game pricing because PC still doesn't have the advantage of physical media that you can buy used or borrow for free. But the console makers seem to be doing everything in their power to kill that advantage, with Nintendo's "game key card" being the latest move in the all-digital direction.
Not to mention it being a moot point with Nintendo anyways since they've figured out the magic formula of keeping their games in a permanent state of high demand and short supply, effectively ensuring they never come down in price.
