This is Japan we are talking about. You know I love them, but we did hit them pretty hard in WWII in the end.

There is also the fact that Sony have only made a quarter (500k as opposed to 2 million) of the units Nintendo made for launch (though Nintendo's launch was pretty much simultaneous for US and Japan). Hence a lot harder to get hold of, even in the home country!
