Used market is great. It does fuel new game sales with people able to use money from trading in games towards them.

Plus there are plenty of games I wouldn't have played without the used games market. It also makes consoles worth owning after their successors come out since for most older consoles it's just not possible to buy new, they don't make them any more, so used is the only way to get games you don't already have on them.

i agree 100% with everything you said here. and still find it amazing that you have people here who think the industry is actually better off without used games. better off for who, exactly? i guess these guys would think it would be better if consoles like the 360 and PS3 were rendered completely useless in two years time. If there were no used market, there would be no place for these consoles besides the dumpster. Unlesss you're emotionally attached to your hardware and you want to keep it on a shelf to look at. Still would have no functional use whatsoever. That is not the kind of future I want for gaming at all. 

Yep it's great still being able to play older consoles rather than them just being a useless waste of space, long may it continue!

It wasn't too long ago that someone on here recommended Pokemon Snap to me and thanks to the used game market I was able to get a copy for my N64 even today

Hell yeah! The used game market kicks ass. There are so many games that would never see the light of day if it werent for the used market.
