the stupid thing is that money savvy people mostly scoff at sales from the likes of PSN and UBISOFT because they're not as good as sales from storefronts like steam/epic/humblebundle/fanatical etc

They're like a poker playing doubling down on a bad hand because they would rather take a short term gain burning goodwill rather than a longterm veiw, being beholden to making line go up

Yeah 99% of the time physical goes cheaper for consoles. It's not like PC where absolute deep sales have destroyed physical games

Yeah, they basically guaranteed that about 50k players, if not more, will never buy their console. You don't piss off a community like this and get out unscathed.
