Neither PC GPUs nor PC graphic cards are individually custom built. They are also mass produced and the manufacturers also profit from economies of scale.
How many PS4 Slim APUs are produced every year? 15 - 17 million?
How many PS4 Pro APUs are produced every year? 2 - 4 million?
How many XBO S APUs are produced every year? 5 - 8 million?
How many XBO X APUs are produced every year? 1 - 2 million?
Well, in the last years, Nvidia also sold tens of millions of GP106-GPUs (GTX 1060) and probably more than 10 million GP106-GPUs (GTX 1070, 1070 Ti and 1080).
The TU106 sales (RTX 2060 - 2070) and TU116 sales (GTX 1650 Super - 1660 Ti) will probably both reach 10 million next year, TU104 sales (RTX 2070 Super - 2080 Super) will probably reach 10 million next year.
And of course the graphic cards manufacturers like ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte also buy these chips in bulk and will get bulk prices.
Of course Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo will get even better prices, but it ain't so that the graphic card manufactures only buy a few hundred or thousand of each GPU model.
