That is kind of what i mean. Sony (SCEE) has to pick up the slack like Euro Ninty does. The rumours are that they are building up localisation teams. Hopefully thats true and its for that same purpose.

Also, these 3rd parties can always self publish on the PSN as digital only. They dont actually need to find another company for it unless they want it to be released on retail.

It'd still take them a few months to get through SCEE's approval process which still requires extra man power.  It's a completely separate entity to SCEA. Thats why EU games take a few weeks to come out in the US and vice verse.

Look at the Milestone games, we get them first because they're made for the EU market and all their presence/contacts are here. The US has to wait until the EU product is out the door.

You have to remember even taking on 1 or 2 extra people to do this stuff more quickly is a big financial undertaking for smaller companies.

Is it worth getting a game released simultaneously if it costs an extra $100,000 to do so then they find they only sell a few thousand copies when those few thousand sales would be made releasing 3-6 months later anyway?
