Well, until we know for sure what their output is, rumors don't mean much to me.  That having been said, I've no idea what the Asian preorder numbers are like either.  Think how warmly they've received other home grown hardware in the past, and who knows this could be a fairly massive Asian launch for Sony.

Also, I doubt that the initial run of PS4's had any stock dedicated to the Asian launch, given how hard it's been for some to find the console on shelves in places they HAVE launched.  So it's likely that whatever they are reserving for the Asian launch, has been from what's been manufactured since launch.  Or do you think that's unlikely?

I'm not really sure how it works but I'd be very suprised if they kept PS4 units from selling over the holiday just so they could keep them for the Asian laucnh. What seems more likely to me is that they've started to save units from about this week of sales and onwards. They must be saving at least 50k per week that they produce, if not over 100k because Japan launch will be big. I guess we'll see their full production/sales once the PS4 has launched in all major areas. I think it will be at least 250k per week.
