Digital rentals, sure. Everyone (Apple, Amazon, etc) pays the movie and tv companies per rental. But what about the topic we were actually talking about: physical game rentals and resells.

Physical rentals work the same way that digital rentals do. As a store, you don't just buy a copy of a film and rent it out. It doesn't work that way. There is a rental agreement with the distributor who gets a cut, or the copy that is authorized for rental will cost significantly more than retail to make up.
