This is why it is stupid to compare the video game market to others.
Used book market? Barely exists, most books are so cheap they are better off throwing away then going to the effort of re-selling. CDs? I presume you mean music. The second hand market again isn't as big as the used games market due to low CD entry price, music is also sold digitally. In fact digital sales are bigger than CDs and no used MP3 market I am afraid.
Video games are 99% sold at retail for console games, used sales hurt the market a lot more than music.
Your examples are stupid, if you are not sure you like a game just don't use the code until you are sure. Hell, even rent a game if you're unsure, is what people been doing for the last 20 years.

You act as if Itunes was always around.
Back before Mp3's became big the used CD market was MUCH larger then the Used game market. Low CD price is exactly why the used game market would be MORE important to new sales.
It's clear your diagreement with the general point is your general lack of understanding the used/new dynamic.

Kasz216, so, the used CD market was larger before, than it is now? So you do not see a present day smaller used market has not hurt the industry?

You do know Music sales are smaller then they've ever been even including digitial sales.
