Games are a bit of a strange market, in that a large proportion of buyers aren't actually informed. The likes of CoD create the impression that high price points are viable, but that's really demand-by-proxy as they're buying for their kids.
It does seem that the industry's coming round to the idea that games aren't all worth £40, and supply and demand rules do still apply to the industry like any other. It probably helps that "gamers" are now grown-ups too, and it's their own money they're choosing to part with.
If prices on the whole stay too high, people will go back to playing Rubik's cubes. (or at the very least, Flash games)
