And where did you get your numbers? I never got to buy a used game, because I love my games fresh, clean and shiny OR digital sometimes. But 78% seems kinda biased without a hard-cold proof to support it.

"NPD finds 78% of core crowd buy second-hand often"

And note that is "core gamers" defined as people that play games for at least 5 hours per week of traditional genres on PC/Consoles. If you include the more casual audience that number is probably even higher.
