Because the cube sold so porrly in Japan they don't have tons of used copies flaoting around liek we do and even fewer of them have played it then here in the US.
While they may sell more in the west Resident Evil is a very popular series in Japan. Japan gets rereleases all the time as they love theri classic gaming. I don't know why people are so excited. Look at Nights just ported to the PS2.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
