Euro is a more valuable currency. European market is larger than the American market which gives niche tiles a better chance. Get used to it.

I never realized a blockbuster, Western-style game that involves an American city getting destroyed by a series of natural disasters was "niche," or that the same term applies to the Mother series. I also didn't realize that the yen has a higher currency value than the Euro, and that Japan alone is a larger market than all of Europe (which must be the only reason so many games remain Japan-only). Thanks for the education!

Now, does anyone have anything intelligent to add to the conversation?

 

 

Japan is where much of the software originates not neading any type of modification to release or dramatic increase in shipping.  That would be why many are released only there.That's why i never said anything about Japan because i thought it was quite superfluous to mention. 

As the American economy declines I would expect to see a far greater focus on the European market.  Every copy that is sold there is sold at a much larger profit (approximately 2x more i believe) than here given our very devalued dollar which means less risk. Do you have anything intelligent to add the converstation?
