Transformers Devatstation is three times more expensive on PS4 than on PC

- Start date
There's other places to get games from other than Steam.
Mad Max is like $30 on Nuuvem, or was a few days ago.
edit - it's actually $25.93

The competitive market on consoles is between retailers with physical media.
It's not standard but heavy discounts do happen often.
I was able to get most recent multiplats on pre-order even for $30-$40 vs the console's $55-$60, including Witcher 3. I usually end up saving $20 to $30 per big name game on release. And if I wait a few months, that price gap usually widens, or atleast doesn't change much.

Steam is usually the last place to buy Steam games at cheap prices.

same bullshit with that lego jurrassic park game but that was in a global scale as in "buy it in the US store" wasnt an option really
sometimes i think this is more to do with pubs capitalizing on the success of the PS4 (current gen consoles)

3 times cheaper and also likely to be the best version of the game, as is the case with most multi-platform titles. I feel bad for anyone not mainly gaming on PC these days.
It's cool to own a console for some exclusives and sports/party games but ignoring gaming on PC means missing out on entire genres, cheap prices, a whole lot of games that only release on PC, backward compatibility and some of the greatest things this industry has to offer right now. And once VR launches next year, it'll be even more so.

You know why.
Sometimes the console retail is cheaper and sometimes the pc digital is cheaper. I got Witcher 3 on ps4 for $24 on day 1 from Best Buy for instance. Has the game even been this price digitally yet?
On top of that I could sell this for about the same price which you can't do at all with pc.

Ha, yeah I got Lego Marvel from Steam day of release for like 20 bucks.
Got Lego Jurassic World a week after release for 13.
Sorry, but this isn't some gray issue that's debatable. Games just are cheaper on PC. Look at this for example: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/search/sort/discount
It's great that you managed to benefit from a pricing mistake or something, but you have to see it for the fluke it is. Everyone else likely had to pay full price for their new PS4 Witcher 3 copy. You can't just use the exception and try to make it the norm, that'd be like saying Windows Defender can stop all viruses because it managed to stop a virus the one time you used it.
Why do you think everyone gaming on PC has ridiculous backlogs? The games are so cheap we just can't stop ourselves from buying them, even when mildly interested.
Yes, that I noticed, yet, here in Belgium (and my store) a physical PC release is nowhere to be found...
Hence my question.
