So why were there shortages at launch? And why games are released last in Europe? Interesting theory, but no dice.

Americans still buy more games than any other country and it is a bigger market to sell games to.

That kind of brings us to the starting square, doesn't it? The essential question is whether Nintendo wants to increase the importance of Europe to their business, which raises questions about why they give America more importance in terms of game releases. If they released games earlier in Europe, they'd sell more consoles in Europe, which (according to the theory) would be their objective.
