Someone's optimistic. Companies realized this mindset years ago, and have been actively working to prevent it from being true in most cases unless it was a massive flop or some other circumstance.
Most of them don't even get a full price reduction in 2-3 years, and you will be lucky if they go on bigger sale than 30% in that time frame.
This is true -- they also keep the price inflated through "live service" wankery; new DLC here and there or some "big" update that "adds" new content to the base game (when in reality it's just patching the game to be fixed the way it should have been at launch). It gives them incentive to keep the price up while flashing "new" content in front of the eyes of itchy-fingered consumers.
Almost every game has something like "GOTY Edition" (even if it was a bomb everyone hated) to basically fluff the price with all the random DLC and patches as well.

even 10 year old games are being sold for 40-50 dollars regularly.
