My hypothesis is that it's probably a result of people (particularly in the case of Wii-U) thinking they're going to stockpile a bunch of these things and then make bank in five or ten years when these consoles are no longer in stores. They're hedging their bets on people's adherence to nostalgia. That and scarcity. 

What does Xbox one and ps4 offer? PS5 can do everything PS4 can , ps4 and ps5 console will be obsolete to PS6 like xbox one and Xbox series to next gen Xbox.

Right. There isn't much logical sense in owning a PS4 if the PS5 can play its games. I agree. But collectors are a difference breed and want to own things for different reasons than people who just want to use their consoles to play. Also, like I said, nostalgia. There will be a whole slew of twenty-somethings, ten years from now, who will look at a PS4 as their "childhood". And it's those people who the hoarders and scalpers are banking on when they buy up all these boxed consoles.
