Mr. Retail Shill, you clearly state here that all games sell several million units each just to rental places. There is no distinction here of talking about only the biggest franchises:

So the guy who used to buy used games, which can be $55, would buy zero new games with his money instead? He'd just stop gaming cold turkey? Sounds like a fairly absurd requirement for your "logic". In the real world, total consumer spending on games new + used (if any) would be similar. Why is that such a difficult concept for you?
Do you read any of the other topics on this board at all?
Or do you just respond to the topics your masters tell you to?
People who can't rent before buying, or try a demo, or borrow a game BEFORE BUYING will buy fewer games to avoid getting stuck with the inevitable turkey of a game released just to make that quick buck before the people wake up and realize the game sucks.
Many MANY people on this board and many others have already stated many times that they won't buy anywhere near as many games if used games are eliminated.

Elimination of used games also eliminates renting and borrowing. Since the rental industry buys their games new, that's a few million copies that won't be getting sold for each game.
