Japan as a "region" on VGC?

UK can be seen as a region of NA basically. The taste of the gamers in the UK is much more American than in the rest of Europe.

A reason why the UK is the ONLY sales region/country within Europe where the 360 leads the PS3. And leads significantly.

So developers and publishers probably will include the UK in their strategy for the USA in some way. 

Yeah, but the geographical difference comes into play then. The big three at least all have the UK and Ireland under their "Europe" divisions.

 

There are some games that get released in the UK and Ireland before the rest of Europe though, if they release in the rest at all, for the reason that localization wouldn't be worthwhile.
