Comment Rentals and libraries (Score 1) 84
The really big thing here, at least the way I see it, is rental stores and libraries, where it is much more likely that any (legit) game a consumer gets from there has passed through many hands and is more likely to cause issues. We're also only a few months into the generation, and I see a lot of "infected" cartridges and unusable second-hand systems in the future.
Nintendo isn't just trying to shut down the used market. Nintendo is trying to shut down the library.
