Yeah, I think retailers are failing badly right now at this. I wonder if there is a real possibility that the scalping plus parts shortages could hurt PS5 lifetime sales.

There is only so much retailers can do to stop scalping. I wouldn't be surprised if there are people who go and buy one PS5 and turn around to sell it on eBay and other places. Retailers can stop scalpers from purchasing more than one PS5 at a time, but that is really it. 

Oh, it is for sure happening. I bet there is people even buying from resellers and then trying to resell it themselves at an even higher price point, lol.

Even then, scalpers can and will use other means to buying more than one at a time (friends and family for example).
