as was already mentioned DLC has helped Devs increase revenue without the core game price increases. Also there are alot more games being sold now days. So while the profit margin is lower, profits are higher. Also, the average game does not command a price of over 60, and the games that do typically have expansions, subsrsibtions, and DLC to equalize things (WOW, Elder Scrolls, COD, etc)
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
