I got back into subsimming via a secondhand copy of SH3 bought on ebay.From there I bought SH4 new and was all ready to get SH5 on release (till all this about the DRM came out) but that's another thing entirely,point is,from a secondhand purchase Ubi gained sales for their new products.So it follows that while someone may be hesitant to pay £30-£40 for a new release,a s/h purchase at £10 might tempt them to try it and the publisher potentially gains a new follower of the franchise which grants them future sales.
Just my simplified view.
