I was just looking through some games sales charts, and wonder, why on earth do they release games at different times in different areas.

What possible benefit comes from releasing a game in the US, then a week or more later in EU, and then Japan?

This puzzles me, anyway know why?

Well, one reason for delays for games in Europe is because of translating.

as big JRPG fan as I am, even I can't understand the Japanese language inside out. And that's why there's time delay.
