That's because American companies as a whole are among the greediest in the world. CEO's of American companies are far more worried about what their shareholders think than what their employees or customers think.
A ban in the US on used game sales would hurt the video game industry far more than allowing the used sales in the first place. I and most of the people I know would buy far fewer new games. There are also a lot of people in this country that make a living from used game sales in one way or another....be it a Game Stop employee or a stay at home mom that sells used games on eBay. Let's burden our country with tens of thousands of jobs lost to the ban only to make companies and their shareholders even richer. Sounds stupid to me.
Stop hating and start playing.
