I hope the used sales market will transition into the digital marketplace. It would be great to resell my old games digitally :).

That...

You know that can't happen, right? Like, that obviously can't happen. No company in their right mind would create a controlled digital ecosystem nessecary for a digital market place, only to relenquish that control to consumers and allow them to make that money instead. Publishers like digital because it kills used games. They aren't suddenly going to bring it back.

I think it all depends on how much money they can make on it themselves. If, for example, MS would set up a used games marketplace, where a percentage of every sale goes to the publisher, I believe it could maintain revenue from a game long after it has stopped selling in the regular market. There are obviously risks with it aswell but I think publishers could reap some great rewards.
