The kinds of buyers who purchase pre-owned "used" games often CANNOT or WILL NOT shell out $70-100 for a new game. Social peer pressures might impact this (hey poor kid, do you really wanna lose your friends?)

The equivalent of a "used" game now is a game that was release more than a year ago and is on sale or at least has a price tag cheaper than it used to be.

The playstore is a bit more dynamic than real stores with physical disks which means it's easier to get lower prices for some games.

On complaint I have is that storage is extremely expensive, but I can't blame that on Sony.
