Mise on 20 February 2009
Some probable reasons:
1) Europe is a much more fragmented region than ie. Japan or NA, and requires more effort with things like localized translations, marketing, bureucracy etc.
2) Since most big gaming companies are either japs or yanks, the games are naturally released in those regions first.
3) Non-European gaming companies just don't give a fuck about the European/Australian market.
I'm more inclined to go with the third option than the other reasons.
