Is anyone shocked the Europe gets games many games and most systems last? It is much harder and more expensive to program games for Europe for obvious reasons. The largest market for most games in North America by a large amount and it even sometimes gets games after Japan.

And Nintendo does sometimes give earlier releases and better prices to Other. Endless Ocean is out right now in Europe and Big Brain Academy is 50% less in Australia when compared to North America.

Remember of Sony released the PS3 late in Europe? At least you are not Korea, China, India, or South America where systems may be delayed for years, if they ever even come out :)

And on the bright side, the cool thing about Europe is that you can buy games from France or Spain and play them in Germany. This helps with the size of the used market, the ability to play games in various languages, and adds to the general availability of games as certain games sell best in certain markets.

In other words, stop your crying :)
