Are you sure? My understanding that supply was diverted to the other markets for their launches.


If over the course of a month (5 weeks) you can't get 100K consoles into Japan then your supply chain sucks, even during its launches Nintendo was capable of sending more than 3000 a week and more than 100K in five weeks

 

So no this sounds to me like a demand issue


Sony was widely criticized for not having enough supply in the first couple years. Early production problem plagued the PS2. Are you forgetting that the NA and Europe launch were in Oct and Nov? They had to scrape up every unit for those launches and they were still way, way short.
