I wonder if there is data that shows how many new games are sold because of the trade in deals that companies have so people that can't buy the game new for 60 bones get it for a more affordable price.

Sounds to me like they are just going to cut off their nose to spite their face.

Why is it that the only industry  that is this rabid about fighting pre owned sales is the video game industry? Maybe another indicator that current AAA development costs are unsustainable?

If both Microsoft and Sony have used game countermeasures, then this could explain all the 3rd party backlash toward Nintendo, but I think would work out in Nintendo's favor.

All these bad signs in the industry lately, if all the rumors end up being true, I don't like where it is headed.
