Japan prices
At the median salary (gross of roughly 5 million JPY), the only one not sold out is roughly 2/3 of a month's take-home pay. Assuming it's not scalpers or overseas buyers (not sure what, if any protections there are on the site), it certainly seems people here are interested (unless the ONLY model they actually sell here is the one not sold out, which happens occasionally such as with Pixel phones only offering certain, lower-spec varieties).
Edit: Also not sure if the JP, Taiwan, and HK stock are pooled which could certainly throw things.
Not saying you're wrong but the Japanese market is a special place for gaming products. I wouldn't necessarily project sales in Japan to the global market.
