If they put more inventory out so people don't have to go to scalpers, they lose the sales from the scalpers. And keep in mind, scalpers aren't just buying enough to fund their customers. They can afford to buy more inventory because they are selling at what is often a huge markup. They can actually afford to not sell all of their inventory they've bought out. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday."
