At my point of view, global launches are good thing. Even if supply is insufficient, this anyway offers even a chance to get the console early. Situation with the Wii is pretty strange in the PAL regions, here we are used to it, that when a console comes out, there's a lot of games available, or if not available, a lot of games is short only from release date since games have been out a long time in Japan or NA. To think of business strategies, global launch isn't necessarily good thing. You can play it safe when you have regional releases. For Wii global launch has been good thing, but PS3 could have had more benefit from 3 regional lauches. Personally i would like to see global game launches instead of global console launches. In PAL regions, which usually gets all the games last, you get stuck in a just released game and try to find some help from the internet, you get guides for 100% walkthrough. Doesn't feel so new game anymore. They should make the localization before game release, although this makes game more risky if it doesn't sell good enough.
