@Soleron: Then they get terrible results.
Examples:
Disaster: DoC (Bombed in Japan and Europe, and didn't get released in the USA allegedly because of the poor sales in the other regions)
Takt of Magic (Bombed in Japan, isn't even planned for a release outside)
Trace Memory R (Bombed in Japan and Europe, isn't planned for a release in the USA)
Excitebots (Bombed in the USA and isn't planned for a release outside. Australian retailers said they don't think the game is worth occupying shelf space)
Punch Out (Bombed in Japan and Europe, did decent in the USA. Only 1 Australian retailer showed interest in selling the game)
Metroid Prime Trilogy (Bombed in Europe and in the USA it's beeing severely overtracked. Sold less than 50k according to NPD (because it's outside the top 20 and the 20th game sold about 50k))
Captain Rainbow (Bombed badly in Japan, not planned for a release outside)
Fatal Frame 4 (Although it sold on par with the previous entrances in Japan, the game barely had any ads. Not planned for a release in Europe or the USA)
There could be more cases.

that is just sad, no wonder nintendo reaches for the casual audience now.
