Sony does not distribute consoles on weekly basis. They start with their quarterly projections and may shift (in a worst case scenarios only) some numbers on a monthly basis (1-2 months ahead). Anything else is financial suicide as far as shipping costs are concerned.
That Sony runs out of old consoles the week ahead of when the new console models board the shelves shows they have a pretty accurate idea of what to ship where and when. Again, any old models in Japan from next week on are dead, unsellable units.
