I'm referring to that consoles can set the price period. You don't have another marketplace (except for the used physical market, if you console supports it) to acquire first or third party games. Therefore, those who own the market can set the price as high as they'd like.

I remember when console prices were standardized at 60 USD during the 7th generation. On steam I've never paid more than 40, with the majority of my library costing under 20.
