Why do games cost more to direct download on a console than to buy a disc? Surely direct download saves the manufacturer costs on transport, shipping, actual materials for disks and packaging, setting up deals with retailers etc…

I read that Nintendo have some sort of agreement with retailers that they won’t undercut them with their online prices. If the digital downloads were cheaper nobody would go to the stores for them and they’d likely refuse to stock their games. I imagine that’s part of the reason for other companies as well, on top of whats already been posted about charging what people will pay
