They don't reduce the retail price, but they do go on sales periodically, but rarely more than 30% or so. Link's Awakening (2019) and Breath of the Wild (2017) still retail for $60. A good sale might bring it down to $40 (probably more like $50), and used on eBay go for $35-45.

For PC games of similar age and initial launch price, you'd probably spend like $10-20. Yes, you can technically get a discount, but it's not going to be that much.
