The only difference with retail and digital sales is obviously the lack of a physical copy but also cutting out the middleman (which is retail). It's still ultimately up to the publisher and distributor if they want to sell you cheap games, and the fact that consoles are closed systems they really don't have a reason to sell you cheap games. They already sell games digitally on the current gen systems but choose not to do many decent sales. There isn't anything stopping them from giving you cheap games, they just don't want to - there's no reason for them to put in the DRM except to give themselves more control.
