I've heard the used game market is massive in Japan. Basically after the first week a lot of people just buy a used copy.

So you're trying to tell me that there's that many people that bought it week one that are selling the game as used already week 2?...you have to have a lot of copies out there to have a lot of used copies available.

yes, it is not uncommon for many people to buy it day 1 and sell it day 2.  There is no rental system, if you want to play a game you have to buy it, the resell values are very high compared to other countries, and the faster you sell it the higher the value will be.  There is an incentive to sell it faster because of that.
