It's sad, but the reason why there is such a delay is there are too many games for too small a market. It costs a lot of money to market a game, if there is too much competition at the time of release than the game will easily flop in smaller markets. If more games flop in a region, than the region gets even less releases so the publisher can stop losing money.

It's business, I think Nintendo knows what they are doing on the business end. Nintendo has rarely ever seen losses in any region. The 3-10% of gamers that go online (us) and complain don't make up the whole market, and they(we) still buy the games anyway (because we do what we are told by our masters 

 
 
  

Porting to the UK should cost very little.

Porting to the UK should never take months.

Marketing here is pathetic anyway.

The EU market is almost twice the size of the Japanese market.

The UK market is by far the largest in Europe.

The games made to cater specifically to Europeans are so infrequent that I suspect there's a huge untapped market for Euro-centric games.

Games released in America flop all the time: maybe they'd find a market here. Not even trying a game here sounds stupid to me.

Nintendo has never won a home console generation in the UK (just about the only nation where this is true). Even the Game Gear held up well against Game Boy here.
