They have sold roughly 25 million PS3s in the US, and 10 million PS3s in Japan. Obviously, there is more money to be made in the US. Also, Microsoft is strongest in the US, so if Sony as a business wants to gain marketshare there, they cannot ignore it.
And technically, last time Sony launched first in Japan and NA, with Europe lagging behind. This time it is Europe and NA, with Japan lagging behind. So technically the change reflects a stronger interest in Europe (where they have sold 30 million PS3s) over Japan.
