I have no problem at all with scalpers. They are just reacting to market forces. I would say that placing two preorders when you only want one is essentially the same thing. Someone that does that has taken away a pre-order from someone else to benefit themselves. I see no problem with that.

I tried and was unable to get a Series X preorder yesterday, even though I was online exactly at launch, and had visited all of the major retailer's sites within 2-3 minutes. Luckily, I know for sure that I'll be able to get a console on launch day *if I'm willing to pay the market price*. I'll have to decide whether I want to pay that price, or wait for the prices to come down. But, really scalpers make it so that anyone that wants a console bad enough can get one at launch. If nobody scalped, it would all just come down to luck.
