Ever heard of piracy?

I'm not sure there's a strong correlation between people who buy consoles from scalpers and people who pirate their games. PS5 consoles are hard to come by and impatient gamers will resort to buying from scalpers but PS5 games are readily available so the need to pirate them is low.

There is a strong correlation between China and piracy.  IP means absolutely nothing in China.

From scalped consoles? No, honestly. They are paying far more than retail price for a product. They clearly have no monetary issues and will purchase software. 

A scalped PS5 is still a bargain compared to an equivalent powered PC.  These people in China, who are buying from scalpers, could very well be looking for a deal.
