Simple, retail stores threaten publishers that if they let digital distribution undercut the retail sales then the retail avenues won't stock the game. Publishers wanting their cut from both markets jacks the price of the DD service up so the retail stores are happy. Isn't capitalism great?

Capitalism is pretty awesome actually. In most other government forms, no video games are made to begin with because they may potentially upset the dictator. Capitalism does not always equal democracy
