This has nothing to do with the gaming industry, specifically. This is a basic (very effective) marketing strategy. But typically federal regulations prohibit them from advertising something as "on sale" perpetually so it has to be advertised at retail price for x% of the time.

Doing that bankrupted jc penny.
