Let’s not forget, the gaming market is a lot larger today than it was 10, 20, 30 years ago. That’s a lot more $60 games bring sold today than back in the 90s.

And there was a big decrease in per unit costs of production switching from cartridges to optical media. Not quite as much in the switch from optical media to downloading, but some.

Did they pass those savings on to customers?

Inflation ate it all. $60 in 2005 would be almost $100 now. Hell even from 2015, $60 would be $80 scaled for inflation.
