In the US, people are more into videogames... that's it basically.
They follow the industry more, they watch more trailers, they follow more news on the internet, and hype for the release is bigger. That's why they usually have better launch, but worse legs.
And the same is for Japan. Even more i would say, in Japan a game some times sells 70/80% of the lifetime sales the first week.
Many European don't even know what to buy, they are just like "i have 40€ to spend, let's see what i can buy at gamestop".

Of course this also depend on the games, but usually that's it.
