They're within their right to do that, but I don't think there should be avenues to promote that kind of behavior. And the stupid idiots who pay a ridciulous price for it aren't helping, so it's their fault too.
I don't think these companies should out a product until they have a reasonable amount to somewhat meet demand. If that means pushing back the launch so be it. Having to have people camp outside of stores is not nearly enough to meet demand. They do this on purpose so that they create more demand for the product and people are all in a frenzy to buy it. Hence they sell more units. Nintendo is not nearly as bad as Sony. Sony, don't even get me started. They know the video games stores had pre-orders to fill, meanwhile they make a deal with Best Buy so they get the most units and shun all the people who shelled out money in advance for the dumb thing. Real way to be nice to your fans. I understand that's how business works, but I just don't think that's right.
Er...sorry for the rant. I'm just angry at the video game companies right now. Can ya tell? xp
