Maybe it's just a supply issue. I doubt their factories are localized to their markets. They're probably working out of manufacturing houses in China or Taiwan like virtually all consumer electronics companies. The distribution centers, though, are more localized. If their supply for this first run is somewhat limited, I can see them limiting the color choice to the countries where they expect the highest sales.
