Selling 6 million and having sold out narrative is the best possible place to be.
Limiting Japanese shipments so that it will be hard to find in major cities is almost a bonus. It will be perceived as a hot item and no negative stories in media. Selling 20-30k a week and being "sold out" would be optimal strategy for Japan if it happens.. Having lots of stock and dropping below 10k would be non optimal

I have to agree... it's not really a good place to be. I mean it's great that the demand is high and that they're selling at a fast pace, but Sony needs to do a better job of keeping up with demand.
There was a post at GAF showing the production numbers and they were quite a bit higher during December, so they seem to be able to produce more PS4s. But to be fair, it was probably because of Chinese New Years as it has been mentioned. Again, I think availability will be much better in March.
That said, it's still only a bit lower than the XB1's attach rate AFAIK. Both systems are going to have a low number at launch with limited software.

Japanese attach rate was really low, no doubt bringing the overall number down a bit. Many japanese buyers at launch seem to be fine the bundled Knack.

PS4 Japan Stock update.
This chain has it available at 17/20 stores(the 3 that don't might be getting stock today).
Amazon jp is out of stock.
Biccamera appears to be sold out.

I think I saw some PS4s for sale in Akihabara and in the showroom store in Tokyo, but they could be just empty boxes..
I could finally be able to buy the official dualshock 4 stand/charger in the showroom store, which had been completely sold out in Portugal since launch.

It Looks like the 234 that are available, also includes 3rd party retailers (mom & pop shops), some with ridiculous prices (secondary sales).
What? Still 999 PS4s in my updated "cart". You must be doing some kind of mistake...
Or is it me?

999 here as well.
If you have other items in your cart, you have to remove them. 999 is the most you can have in your cart.

You said the same thing last month, the whole tracking aspect has a large delay. It won't budge for a while when going in stock and will similarly stay at the top far after it has gone out of stock.
OK. I thought the rankings were (supposed to be) hourly updated (in fact they are) so dunno. If I said the same thing last month you're probably right
At least this is the first large slog of Amazon PS4's I've seen in 2-3 weeks I think. So maybe Sony is back to rest of world after Japan launch.
