It says it is limited to 500 apps so compared to 1.4m in the app store less people to spread the money around to. It also sounds like they removed the option of using the Android store from this quote "saying that consumers would get confused if there were two app stores — Google Play and a branded KDDI store". So there really isn't the option of their users going to a different system.
