Playstation, Xbox, and Steam charge 30%.

Correct. And the fact that Apple has been raked over the coals for years about it, yet people, even on HN, don't know that the rest are doing it, really makes me question people's motives.

		It's just a matter of perception. People can and do write apps for iOS. So a lot of people hit the issue, and some complain loudly. Most people don't write apps/games for gaming consoles. Those who do already knew the deal they were getting into. It's sad that one can be a victim of one's own success. Not saying we should feel bad Apple (or any tech giant for that matter) but the idea of justice and fairness when administered by public sentiment is a funny thing...

To be fair it kind of remains to be seen how successful all of those are, long-term (I kind of expect Microsoft to exit the hardware console business at this point).

The Switch is also 30%. Unless you contend no console will be successful.

		I guess we'll see if RAM prices come down any time soon. At current price increase rates I think no console stands a chance in the next few years.
