Yodobashi have "massive" stock, I called my local one and they said they have "over 500" in stock at that one particular store (machida) the clerk then told me their online store will have stock updates daily for the next week.

Either they were lying or Sony has been stockpiling like fuck

Might explain why someone on GAF wrote the below. Either massive stock or the system is not selling that well. Considering the rumor now is 350K stock, I'm inclined to believe the latter.

Went to Yodobashi Camera here in Fukuoka today during lunchtime and shelves are still full of launch day preorder systems. Also, after work, nobody in line or I just didn't see them. I would be actually surprised if the system sells well here.

Not sure if trolling but isn't it like midnight in Japan?

The Japanese are ordering the PS4 in advance for the hentai games that are going to eventually come out for it.

I'm more surprised by Persona Q, didn't thought it was already open for pre-orders. This game is gonna pull some nice numbers.
OT: no worries about PS4, just the strong sales in the west are able to push Japanese developers and customers to get attracted.
