The discounts usually aren't too steep, but games do go on sale periodically. DekuDeals is a fantastic resource for price tracking.

That's fair... But the point I was more trying to make is that Breath of the Wild, an 8 year old game that has a sequel out, is currently full price. It went on sale earlier this year for 40% off.

40% off a $70, 8 year old game is very different than 40% off an 8 year old game that was selling at $40-$50 without a sale.
