It's called selling at a large profit. Apple set the precedent, everyone else just follows. Why do you think service providers charge you a lot less for the phone if you sign up with them? It's because they pay a lot less for them than you would if you payed MSRP. They probably are only charged a little more than it costs Apple, Sony, etc. to manufacture them.
