Demand x Supply is the first thing you lear in any economics class.

OK, can we continous?
If you now the science, you understand that when demand for a product exceeds the supply prices go up. People are not wiling to pay a extra to get the privileges of owning a PS4. This was a bad season for scalpers.
Retailers can´t exceed the MSRP but they can use "smart" treaks like bundling games and accessories to increase their profit margin. http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/consoles/refurbished-playstation-4-remote-play-bundle/113553?utm_source=linkshare&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=deeplink&cid=afl_10000087&affID=77777&sourceID=MfQy8kfx.Gk-Ck_Ykgf2gU.lzvLOfjpYUQ
But they are nowere to be seen in the case of PS4, just because there is no PS4s to bundle in many parts of USA.
MS on the other hand clogged the american market and the situation for scalpers is even worst. And some retailers are having problems moving the extra stock, however, they have no choice, last gen software sales are dying faster than they expected.
But the overall situation is of no concern for MS as they should be more regreted for not make the launch in Tier 2 and 3 markets.
