Graph isn't fully accurate, they don't have to pay for manufacturing anymore with Discs or carts mostly and the majority is digital, that offsets a lot and social media marketing is so much cheaper now. They could raise physical prices but raising digital prices would be heinous. 

Sure, but if we account for everything AAA development costs have increased by about 2 orders of magnitude over the last two decades (low millions in the early 2000s versus hundreds of millions today.) 

They have to course correct and bring down production costs. Smaller teams, less graphical detail nonsense until AI can reduce the cost of that significantly enough to make it worth it. If they put the price on the players they risk crashing the AAA industry and indies aren't enough to sell systems. Nintendo and indies on PC will be all that's left after the implosion. 

Some of the most popular games of the past decade have been non graphically intensive, go back as far as Minecraft, among us, Palworld more recently and so on and none of them reached close to 70.
