While the PS4 officially launched in Japan at midnight, actual stores are just starting to open now, and those that didn't pre-order the new console are scrambling to try and get one before they run out of stock.

Below you can see a few pictures from Tokyo, where gamers are crowding the entrances of electronics and game stores in Akihabara like Yodobashi Camera, Bic Camera and Sofmap. On the other hand the Yodobashi Camera store in Shinjuku seems to be a lot less crowded.

Sony Compter Entertainment Japan and Asia President Hiroshi Kawano is also in attendance in front of Bic Camera, sporting a sleek PlayStation sweater. Looks like all the partying and beer from yesterday night's launch event still didn't manage to put him out of commission.
