They actually only make ~$15 per game sold at $59.99. The only new products that bring in a substantial amount of money are accessories. For example, a DS3 may cost $4-5 to make. GameStop then buys those from Sony for ~$15 and sells them for $55.
Outside of accessories, games are a pretty low margin business for retailers. That's why all dedicated game stores push used games so hard.
