Antitrust laws would force a solution to that concern before it became a real problem. In a digital distribution future I predict that the government will force publishers to allow other virtual stores to carry their products at different prices.
Think of how Amazon works now. They sell codes for some titles.
There will definitely be some significant price fixing issues to work through, but Nintendo already went through that in the 80s. The consumer would be stood up for.
And that's ignoring the fact that these companies will almost definitely lower prices over time to spur sales. That's just simple economics.
