Why must console games be a significant 10 dollars more than on the PC!!!! Making videogames 50 dollars would make life so much more enjoyable :P

Because console makers lose money or break even at best for most of the life of the system. They have to make money somehow otherwise there would be no consoles.

Because they have to pass certification of the console makers. PC games don't.
