I'll say this much; it makes no sense releasing it on disc in Europe/Australia/New Zealand, but not in the larger North American market.

That it came out on disc in PAL regions pretty much torpedoes the argument that they can't afford to put it on disc in NA.

That's my problem, NoA didn't even try with Fatal Frame. I could understand a decision like that if it were based on poor sales of the Wii games in NA, but in this case they just decided that the series was going to sell poorly before giving it a real chance.

To be fair to them, the series has been given multiple chances and sold poorly every time.  So to say they never gave the series a chance is very misleading statement.

As for digital only, I have mixed feelings.  On the one hand, I think they needed it physical on principle.  If nothing else it pads the shelves with a new exclusive.  On the other hand, I greatly appreciate that they did digital the way I have always said it should be done:  with a substantial free demo.  So that is something I am quite happy about. So yeah, mixed.
