It's actually not the standard, the standard was iirc 70% for in-store at the time. These days I think it's closer to 50%, assuming no 3rd party losses/licensing.
Nintendo/Sony/Apple/etc are all 30% too, by the way.
and Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft charge the consumer extra for features like online play and cloud saves.
Personally, I think the standard should be reduced but Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft should start.
