This is not a matter of "I don't think so", it is the law today. There is no generally enforceable retail price point. There are many cases going back years on all this.
But there are ways around the law, though that depends on success and customer demand. Apple has an exclusivity deal with AT&T: such arrangements are perfectly legal for a set period of time (as you know, that has just been extended) and the parties can set the terms for themselves, as AT&T and Apple have done. Because there is great demand, the product sells at full price. Another way is to go the Nintendo way, which is to limit the amount that is offered for sale: since the demand for the Nintendo is also high, the retailer can actually get more. But this is a matter of customer demand, not price enforcement.
