Nope. We might get some stock in now, but I don't think the shipments are going to be that large. Japanese launch is just a few weeks away, so they need to start stockpiling for that

Id wager they already did quite a bit of stockpilling by now, if Sony can manufacture 1.2-1.5 mil units per month as rumors indicate they havent sold everythign they manufactured since they started assembling PS4s if you do the math, so I believe there are some units stored for the Japanese launch already.

The rumours are that they started making PS4s on September 1st and can make about 1.4-1.5m per month. They sold 4.2m PS4s by the end of the year, indicating about 1.5m made per month. The things is, they were airlifiing shipments to get more in before Christmas, which will mean that there are fewer PS4s avaliable this month as they will have gone back to slower shipping, hence there have been lower sales.

I just don't think the stock situation is going to improve until the end of Feb at the earliest given that I don't think that Japanese sales are going to stay too high for that long
