They learned to not ignore the fanbase and pass up on an obviously good game. Xenoblade got good reviews and awards. Devil's Third doesn't look like it will get any of that stuff. What do you mean by slowly? Most 1st party niche Japanese games that get localized launch around the same time in NA and EU. There may be a month long difference for a game or two, but that's it. 

There shouldn't be any difference in US/EU localizations, but I was talking about the long lag from Japanese release to Western release primarily. Why Xenoblade is all the way in December, I'll never know.

Likely to capitalize on the holiday season. NoA had Splatoon coming and they probably didn't want to take sales and hype away from that. Xenoblade will probably get heavily marketed during the holiday shopping season.
