Has anyone ever stopped to consider that competition among developers has swelled to an INTENSE level? Think about how many different choices you have in any given genre (shooters especially)... of course it is becoming harder to make money in the industry because competition is fierce.
For all of those condemning used games... have you purchased every shooter made this generation, new? If not, shame on you for not supporting the industry. I can browse a gamestop, and half the titles I didn't even know EXISTED. But yeah, used games are the problem.
Its as if all these studios think it should be EASY to make money hand over fist. It's not. Not going to be. Video gaming isn't your dirty little secret any more, or just for kids, but rather, a multi billion dollar industry that EVERYONE is trying to get a piece of. Eliminating used games completely is not going to eliminate competition. In fact, people might start buying LESS new games and start dumping money into other forms of entertainment. Cell phone games. Movies. TV shows. Something outdoors **GASP.
If these studios want to make more money, they will have to be SMART with budgets etc. And its not going to be easy. Competition makes everything harder when you are tying to make a sale...
