Hm... this feels like it should be surprising... considering Wii's are cheaper... despite their huge sales and that Nintendo games never drop in price, I'd think the used versions of Nintendo games would be flying off the shelves.

Then again maybe few people trade in their Nintendo games.

What would the Wii's price have to do with whether people buy games new or used?

50 bucks is a lot for a new game.  I would expect them to sell more Used copies of a game that's $50 new 6 months later then a wii game that's $30 new 6th months later.

I've always thought that Nintendo sales were higher outside of gamestops because of this.

You wrote "Wii's are cheaper", not "Wii games are cheaper". But even then, retail price does not relate to resale price. Any look at the variety of prices for games that sold at the same price should tell you that.
