Should and will are two different things. If the book industry had a method around resale for the past one hundred years you can bet at some point they would taken it.
Indeed. Game companies are fighting resale because they can and because consumers will likely accept it like they have Steam. If the next console generation requires you to register your game like Steam a percentage will bitch, a smaller percentage will boycott, but in the end it will be accepted.
If Warner Bros. and Pocket Books could do the same thing they would. Hell, they might as we go more and more digital.
