I think this has to do with Sony seeing how the demand for the 3G model wasn't very high, so they are shifting gears in production plants to push out more WiFi models. I believe the original shipment for Japan was more like 60% WiFi to 40% 3G, while the one for France is reportedly 75% to 25%. It probably was originally going to be the same ratio as the Japan launch. They may also be making sure they have enough units for the US/UK launches.
