Well most PC games do that with digital download after a while.Once everyone who has feasibly bought a copy has bought one, it goes on steam or whatever for cheap, and they get whatever it is minus the service's fee.
It's still gonna be just as expensive as a digital download new though, largely because big non-indie companies sink so much fucking money into development and advertising now it's not even funny.

The market nowis worth more than Hollywood though, so I suppose they think it's worth it.
I think Charlie Brooker said that GTA IV was the first game to cost over $100 million... that is insane
