Nintendo better not use this as an excuse to no longer give us decent release dates, just because of an idiot or two. Besides, how many pirates in the US or Japan have done the same thing with other titles?

Games sell well in Japan and the US.  Games sell poorly in Australia.  They risk losing more potential sales by releasing in a region where they won't sell well before a region where they will sell well.

Huh?  Not quite sure what you are getting at here but I'd be willing to bet that home console and game sales are much higher per capita in Australia than Japan, certainly this generation.  Regardless I don't see how releasing in Australia first, which according to you has poor game sales, could lead to a greater loss of potential sales.  We are a small market, even if every single potential customer pirates a particular game, it will have little effect on the overall sales of the game, because we are such a small market.
