How much do used game sales take away from new game sales? Has anyone documented that?
All I have ever seen is GameStop data showing how trade-ins are used to fund NEW game purchases, which would HELP the industry.
What is killing developers/publishers is making games that cannot make a profit even if they sell 3 million copies (eg Tomb Rader). Stopping/limiting/restricting used game sales will not help that kind of situation. If anything, it would lessen how much money was out there to buy new games, depressing their sales and further harming developers.
