The only way that could possibly happen is if a lack of used game sales increased publisher profits by 40% or more. That's not speculation, that's simple math. But that kind of profit increase simply isn't possible (see my previous post) Gamers will see zero benifit from the demise of used game sales. It would put a little more money in publishers pockets, but it would inconvenience gamers, lower fan bases, and stifle a thriving second-hand economy. It's just bad all around except for money-hungry CEOs.
