@noname: ESRB has the RP, rating pending, that means that you can show trailers before the game is rated (although i'd assume certain rules would apply to what you can show and what you can't). PEGI then again is self-regulating system and when the game is finished, you can put the rating to the trailer without any separate approval (i don't know how USK and the UK:s system work).
But the Australian system needs approval for the trailers and that's the reason why you see gaming sites reporting about the australian ratings so often.
The bolded was and wasn't, fits so well since everyone seems to forget australia these days. But it was more like a real situation that happens all the time inside companies. For example, when Reggie mentioned the game that was supposed to come to NA for christmas, i'd bet that someone forgot to tell Reggie it's not coming, since i doubt Reggie was talking about Animal Crossing.
I believe that if the game was pulled back (well, in Japan it was), and the reason isn't Motion Plus, it was because of strategic reasons. Production is upped to 2,3M a month, christmas definately sells every single one of them. But what's next? The after christmas lull. Production is high, demand is low and Nintendo needs to up the demand. If DDOC is the kind of title people seem to expect, it will target the "red ocean", ie PS360 gamers. Now when you combine this with the time when there's no big releases for any of the three, it's going to hit its target. Just like Nintendo did with Brawl.
Ei Kiinasti.
Eikä Japanisti.
Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
