Even though volume has gone up, the cost of making a triple AAA game is much higher than it use to be. Current day triple AAA titles are way more complex; they feature a ton of professional acting, highly detailed artwork, etc.
Also, as you point out, inflation has gone up so that accounts in part why the unit price has not changed much.
Even taking all that into account, perhaps it still doesn't justify the price they sell at. In that case, they may be selling it much higher than they need to because they can. People still buy games prices at $60.
