I'm sure there are a lot of factors, but shifting away from cartridges was a big cost cut.
I looked up PS1 game prices and apparently they were about $50 which was about $100 in todays money. I remember $50 being the price of some of the bigger Wii games back when I started gaming and the $60 price point was the norm for a while. Kinda interesting how games seemed inflation proof.
