Welcome to the market, gaming industry.
Nearly every market of this kind "suffers" from this scenario. The gaming industry isn't _losing_ money; it just isn't making 100% profit. Poor babies. Used items for sale are just another matter of "overhead" that every company which sells a physical product has to deal with. (and I don't want to hear that crap about software not being such; piracy is a completely different issue.)
No one makes 100% profit. There's no reason for them to start complaining just because they have to play by the same rules as everyone else.
Imagine if the automobile industry started making the same claims, that used car dealers were not right because everyone should buy a new car. Gee, that makes sense.
