Well, the Vita preorders have started and what a start it is: within 2 hours, all online retailers were completely out of preorders. All.
And it currently dominates Amazon.jp:
Yeah, even that massively overpriced memory card is doing great.
Now regular stores have opened for preorders and thanks to Adriansang, we know how things are looking offline:

Famitsu.com has been covering some of the line activity. The Akihabara Yodobashi Camera, one of recurring retailers you'll see in line reports for product launches, had promised to start pre-orders at 7:00 in the AM. By midnight, the shop's line had reached the 200 mark. By around 6:00, the line had reached around 500 or so.
The shop opened up ten minutes in advance, but people kept on coming. Despite the large numbers, Famitsu says that even at 7:00 Yodobashi had not closed off the line.
