Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo don't get a cut of the profits.

Not relevant to Skyrim...

But for console I believe there are licensing costs.

less demand, because more people play on consoles

I guess you won't be happy then when we pay 60$ for FO4 or TES 6 and you pay 70$.

Nintendo (original NES) games used to be like $75... and that was in the early 90's. People have always paid whatever was asked of them for console games

Also pc users tend to not have a resale market. Console users on the other hand have a rather large resale market. Since the developers get zero cash on all those resold items, they need to make up the cash somehow.

Before anyone tries to compare it to pirating(Which could also be done on consoles), I'd like to mention that one is legal and can be found in any mall (see gamestop(even bestbuy getting into that now)

No licensing fee, therefore the PC version is $10 less.
