Games and hardware are hardly the same thing. When manufacturing costs go down, so should the hardware itself. Hardly rocket science. 

Nothing wrong with price cuts on games either, but when major price cuts happen a month or two after launch it's not very healthy for the gaming industry in the long term (because they will try to make up the lost revenue in other ways like loot boxes and micro-transactions). 

If a game sold enough that it covered the development cost and then some, its price could and should be lowered, specially if the game is old.

If a game receives a “major price cut” so close to the release, that because it flopped and that is an entirely different scenario.

Nope, many popular games out there that got price cuts soon after launch.
