There may not be a problem of Japan itself, but the act of this specific company in Japan that’s responding to the “induced” PC hardware crisis.
The induced doesn’t mean that’s some natural development (such as people is not buying PC anymore) but because critical components and materials (such as GPU/ram/SSD) are currently absorbed by the ongoing AI bubble eating and eating resources that are key for PC manufacturing.

I get the prices are going up, and DDR5 is hard to get. There are still many computers on the shelves locally.
Why is this specific company in Japan failing to get computers when so many others are doing an decent job of it?
Stores in this district also sell used devices. Due to the price of new hardware, people are holding on to their new hardware and do not sell it.
