Yes, there are scalpers, but I don't think the demand is too high. You can find 99+ offers for the console on amazon for about 55.000 Yen, so 10k above official retail price. It's just people trying to make a quick buck, but it obviously doesn't work out. The firsts ones are already lowering prices to 53.000 Yen.
It's like this with every console launch. But when the demand is indeed high the prices rise to insane levels and the stuff does actually sell on eBay and amazon marketplace. Both is not the case here. At least afaik.
edit: Oh, just for the record, also available with no problem whatsoever in germany. But I honestly didn't expect a rush on those things anyway. It's not a new console after all.
