They sure do. I think Amazon has the SE at $29.99 right now, too. Nope, scratch that, they have it for $24.99 right now.
Amazon has it listed for $60 (though with the wrong release date), but it does include all DLC per the box art. https://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-Skyrim-Special-PlayStation-4/dp/B01GW8XJVU/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1465792730&sr=8-10&keywords=skyrim
Amazon price tag for console versions is set at $60. While they could set it lower on PC (deservedly so, considering how we already have nicer looking mods), I doubt they will. Then they'd have a bunch of pissed off console gamers, in the same way they have console gamers pissed off about Fallout 4 mods, except worse.

Bethesda knows the vast majority of pc gamers aren't willing to spend $60 (yes fucking $60) on what will be a marginal improvement to the base game that players can already achieve through current mods. This edition's main selling point is mod integration which the PC version has always had meaning there is little to no reason why PC gamers will rebuy this game. Yet without the pc there is no modding community, thus no mods for consoles, which is Bethesda's target demographic. Here Bethesda's intentions are clear, it is giving the game to PC gamers for free because it 1) Knows that PC gamers have no desire to rebuy a remaster of this games and 2) it wants to outsource mod development for consoles to pc gamers, thereby enticing console gamers their target demographic to buy the game at full price. In other words, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
>But the MSRP of the games should be the same on Switch as other consoles.
I think outside of indie games we are seeing that, and even in those cases often the digital versions are the same price.
The issue is: does the MSRP really matter? Like for example the MSRP of the PS4 Skyrim is $60 just like the Switch. But the actual price of the game on Amazon is $30 and its been under $40 since early Feburary. Does the MSRP still matter in that case?
I think the answer is "yes" personally, but a lot of people don't see it that way and only care what the actual current price is.
For those who want Skyrim physically, you can get it on Amazon for $24.99

Seems to be cheaper than that. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GW8XJVU/

They know full well there's thousands of drooling fans who have been waiting for this and they're going to take full advantage.
EDIT: There is still some hope it's a placeholder price but I still highly doubt it'll be less than $50 and totally shocked if it's just $40.
