Why? So they can sell more consoles in Japan. It ain't worth much in regards to software sales.

People boast about PS3 doing great in Japan but they've only sold 25 million games there. In NA the PS3 sold 145 million games.

Lol Japan has a population of 127 million, while the US have a population of 310 million (excluding Canada, which are included in NA sales data). It's obvious that they cannot sell as much.
