With re-selling at least you can get $20-$50 back or something. It'd be different if there were more sales and deals a la Steam but prices for console games are expensive.

Only if you have to buy all your games at release. Just by waiting a few months after release you can find many triple-A games for half price on the Playstation store, you never see that kind of price reduction at physical retailers, even for pre-owned. And if you do buy games day 1, digital means you just hit a download button instead of driving to a store or waiting for shipping. Then when you consider never having swap discs when you want to change games, not having to worry about losing or breaking discs (as a parent of 2 young kids this is huge), and always having an on-demand library of all your games when a replay itch strikes, digital just offers way to much convenience for me to ever consider going back to buying physical copies
