Launch-Day PS4 Stock Readily Available in Japan

It seems the PS4 isn't as sold out as some pictures and articles would have led us to believe. "Most shops had PS4s available on the shelves today, including major nationwide retailers and mom-and-pop independent game stores alike. I did find one store that was completely sold out of the PlayStation 4, but it turned out that the place only ordered a couple above its own pre-order numbers. Recent lukewarm launches of PSVita (December 2011) and Wii-U (December 2012) has made some shops a little bit gun shy about buying too many of a new console. Both of the aforementioned systems had respectable debut weeks, but interest fizzled out soon thereafter, leaving stores with uncomfortably high amounts of leftover stock. Even the 3DS, now a hot seller, spent its first six months struggling to move units. Retailers are wanting to be very careful and test the waters." -PSLS in Japan
