I have pretty much the same attitude but I know it's fun for some to play the rumor game with this kind of stuff. I usually read just a little bit but take it all with a grain of salt. :)

Bottom line: If consoles kill used games and continue to charge $60 new, the console will ultimately fail.

I don't think that is a viable excuse. Just look at Steam/Origin. If you have a console, you have money for broadband.
