I get this feeling too. I don't buy my games used and I don't sell my games. Most people I run into seem to have constant flow in and out. A week after they buy it used they sell it to buy another used game. Either that or they used a Gamefly type service.
Yeah, as a guy who buys a lot of hard drives, I'm really impressed and amazed. There was a 3 TB for $100 on Black Friday. I figure as SSD becomes more common, the old spinny disc types are getting stupid cheap and that's fine by me because I use a lot of space.Damn... that's insane.

We'll see. I certainly admit I could be wrong. I even personally feel a bit hasty on that particular prediction, but at the same time don't feel like it's totally unreasonable as fast as things have been changing and given the lifecycle of handhelds.
If they don't go away in 5 years, they will certainly change into something significantly different (not simply a dedicated portable gaming device that only plays portable games made for it).
I'll be happy to eat lots of crow in half a decade when you dig up this thread and quote me to show me how silly I was.![]()
