I went to Osaka's otaku/gaming/anime/electronics district DenDen Town during the afternoon/early evening today (Monday 2/24). It is sort of like a slightly smaller Akihabara and here is what I found.
Every store (about eight in total) I went in to had some stock of the PS4. I took pictures in the stores where I was able to see the actual machines and take pictures of them without being noticed by staff.

More PS4 consoles on the second floor of the store.
Take-to-the-till boxes at A-Too.
Stock at the non-retro Super Potato store.
I can't wait to see the numbers, but it seems like a much softer launch than in the West.
