Pretty simple really. It's a very niche game that doesn't have any sort mass appeal. It's hard, offers little in the way of crutches, and is therefore based on tactics and combat skill relative to how you've built your character.
At the same time, the atmosphere, the desolation, and the focus on gameplay ability that make this game so much fun and satisfying to play, so any sort of easy mode would dilute the experience (but would be needed for a western release) and have people playing the contrary to the intended fashion. It's so different from other modern WRPG you can see why it would be a tough sell and most likely not worth Sony's while to bring it over.
If my description and reviews of this game sound enticing, import it and play it. I'll update the OP and bump this thread when it's back in stock.
