This discussion is pretty silly. You guys are completely forgetting many of the complexities involved in the differences in American vs European retail, and with comtemplating their own portions of the profit.
All future posts in this silly thread need to include every detail, or they are totally invalidated. ;)
Or... you could just assume that the publishers know what they're doing, and that there's not some strange profit incentive to sell more games in one reason or another, and in the end, it balances out, by the usual nature of large economic machinery in motion.
If there was a region that was more profitable than another, by any reasonable margin, it would have been exploited already, and then... balance would have ensued. There are legions of capitalists looking for economic advantages, such as those proposed here, on a daily basis. I think you guys can safely assume that the profit margins work themselves out to an even mark, in the end.
