I belive that used games still stimulate some sort of business transaction. Money is still being made by some form of legitimate business and people are still getting paid for their retail work. Used games also still have the potential to make money, with the amount of quality DLC that has been coming out for the last few years, one of those used game buyers could potentially buy that $15 COD map pack or that new Mass Effect 2 story mission. I'm sure companies like Bethesda and Bioware are extremely happy that they have an extra potential avenue to make money.
Illegaly downloaded games don't offer that same sort of business and the industry doesn't benefit at all.
Buying used games isn't as bad as illegaly downloading games.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
