Why do Nintendo game prices never fall?

Not necessarily.

$60x2,000,000=$120,000,000

$60x1,500,000=$90,000,000

$20x1,500,000=$30,000,000

$90,000,000+$30,000,000=$120,000,000

$120,000,000=$120,000,000

So dropping the price and getting more sales doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as getting more money.

Well yeah, but the price rarely drops straight to $20 from $60. It's usually $40 first, then $30, then $20. 

But those prices don't really make much sense for the amount sold that u have given.

In ur example the game sells 1.5m, then it either sells an additional 500k if it remains at $60 forever or an additional 1.5m if it reduces in price to $40 then $30 then $20 over the course of its life.

In theory, if it sells an additional 500k at $60 then it would have to be $20 to get the full 1.5m extra sales because u would have to divide the price by 3 in order to multiply the sales by 3. So by first being $40 then $30 before hitting $20, it wouldn't be able to reach the extra 1.5 million sales.
