The used market actually helps new sales. A lot of people buy games knowing they can sell them back a week after release and get back about half their money.

If it wasn't for the used market... these people wouldn't buy new.

It also takes away a lot of risk from people buying a new game, knowing you can get some money back and it has value.

Used sales help the market.

Piracy appears to be a nuetral factor. So used sales are better then piracy.

So if someone downlods a game and likes it and then decides to buy it, that doesnt help the market?


It does help the market, however generally in research that trend tends to be about even with the people who would of bought it, but don't because it's free. They basically seem to cancel each other out.
