Agree. I suspect others who use steam are thinking the same thing.

When I heard the news for playstation my mind instantly jumped to silly digital prices for games forever. I look at the nintendo switch store and they will sell a digital copy for new retail price for years after even if you can pickup a used copy on ebay for half the price or less.

This. The biggest value proposition of a console that plays Steam games is the ability to acquire Steam games during Steam sales.

The closed console ecosystems seemingly have far less incentive to ever discount games, even old ones.

Yep. A large part of the value prop for me is easy portability of the same games and saves to couch or PC with zero effort or re-purchase.
