The balance is much in favour of publishers. Sony did a much better job to get the balance right between the 3 groups. Banning second hand games and having restrictions really makes us all losers
Publishers- less people will buy their games due to how expensive they are, may make some go bankrupt due to their ballooning budgets for games Eg THQ
Retailers- will shut down as they can not make money from 2nd hand games
Gamers- will play a much lesser variety of games and stick to what they love already leading to a lack of innovation by developers and stagnation of the industry
Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030
