A single semi successful AAA game makes way more money than that. And that's just a single game selling 4 million copies (4 million x 60 dollars each is 240 million dollars). Just one game selling 10+ million units totally crushes those figures.

That's not how it works.  There are a lot of steps along the way to getting that game into a retail sale.  Each step takes a cut of the money.  The developer just gets a small fraction of the sale price of a game.  They'd be very lucky to get $40m back from a game selling 4 million copies.
