You know PC doesn't have physical games and tends to have the biggest price drops despite that?

PC has multiple marketplaces and the most competition.

The problem isn't digital vs physical, it's monopolies vs healthy markets. The market for physical media tends to be healthier for consoles because it's at least a lot closer to being impossible to monopolize compared to consoles' online stores, which are monopolies by default with no aftermarket for competition
