You can search if PS4 is available or not in Japan very easily. For example going to Yodobashi Camera website. You might need a minimum level of japanese, though. In this link you can check PS4 stock available in all Yodobashi Camera's shops (one of the biggest chains in Japan):

And in all of them it says 在庫あり (stock available). The only store where is not available is the outlet / second hand store, than never has stock.
You can also check Amazon.jp and PS4 is 在庫あり (stock available) again (letters in green).

Also, I live in Japan, Tokyo, and I've checked Bic Camera and Yamada Denki close where I live and PS4 is available again there.
So, we have 3 evidences showing that PS4 is still FULLY AVAILABLE in Japan.
Btw, since the new Splatoon Bundle came out in July, Wii U is also fully available (you can check it using my links and starting a new search). If now it isn't selling it's because doesn't sell. The moment to sell has passed, and the new bundle price is quite higher than before.
