K-01 is Not For Japanese Home Market?

There is no announcement of any over there:-

And it is confirmed at various Japanese sites and forums that Japanese Pentax users are talking about it is an overseas release, for example:-

So, did Ricoh actually know and decide that there would be no market and little demand of the K-01 at their home so that they have not launched it in Japan? :-o
