It makes sense that games would get so much cheaper over time, considering much more sophisticated manufactured goods have improved considerably while getting cheaper after inflation.

Cars have a higher development investment, as well as marginal costs per unit considerations. Adding a feature to a car, like a carbon fiber hood over a steel one, incurs an added unit cost, while adding a level or something to a game has almost no marginal cost increase.

It's not like I'm getting five cheap 2008 Fiestas in a Humble Bundle any time soon :-P

EDIT: I stepped away for a moment and just noticed that you edited your answer. I'll keep my reply intact anyway.
