Not true for retail.
People buy used games because they are cheaper. Full stop. A used version of a brand new game is still expensive, if you can afford used games then you can afford them new, prices really don't differ that drastically, normally less than $10. On top of that Retailers promote+make more space for used games because they make them more money. Publishers cannot afford to lower game prices at retail in this climate.
Pricing of digital games however is key. If they can match and even beat the price of used games through digital prices, there will be no reason for people to buy used games.
