Only if you buy games immediately when they come out. They're fairly cheap if you play games that came out 2 years ago. The pricing model seems to be geared around kids getting the latest game as a gift or with allowance or something. And psychological manipulation if it's a free-to-play game.
It depends on the company/game I’m guessing. Space Marine 2 came out 2 years ago and is still £60 on PS5. Most of the old Call of Duty games are still £40-50 on the PS Store as well. Baldur’s Gate 3 is still £60. Assuming the discs are cheaper but I don’t really have the storage space for them anymore, so I’ll just stick to the games I already own. I don’t get bored of Minecraft or Skyrim much anyway.
Games are definitely more expensive on consoles. Especially games exclusive to Nintendo. PCs are of course much more expensive to buy. So maybe it's only true of games that don't have a graphics-intensive art style.
