If I wanted a PS4 game I could go to gamestop or walmart and buy it. I can buy games used. As closed as consoles are there's much more choice in where you get your software than iOS devices.

Regardless of where you buy it, Sony takes a cut--unless you buy used.

And IAP, which is the subject under discussion, is 100% through Sony, and Sony still gets 30%.
