And a slight overshipment added to the announce of a lot of 160GB SKUs and bundles in Japan (an increase too little from 120GB to coexist on the shelves regularly) could mean that 120GBs are going to be phased out and put on clearance sale. This could explain everything.
Edit: I came a bit late, 120GB are already on "free pricing" and phased out... http://www.wouldyoukindly.com/sony-announces-new-ps3-slim-skus-160gb-white-version (LOL, it was in the same news where I read about the new SKUs, but I totally forgot it 
). But this, again, could explain everything if all this was already decided before the end of June and Sony decided also to empty its warehouses from old SKUs early.
