bitch and build hype :)

Mmm... I had to import Blazblue, Demon Souls and GOW Collection this Christmas. GoW collection hasn't even got here yet. :(

I guess EU won't see GoW collection till GOW3? Blazblues EU version is just 1 year late and Demon Souls seems hopeless. On the bright side, we get GTA5 one month before US... right?

VGChartz dont' even track ANY Asia version of the PS3 games... That includes Hong Kong, Taiwan, PRC, and Korea... There must be at least a decent chunk of undertracking for these games...

Most notable games here are probably Demon's Soul, and Tales of Vesperia where the Korean version ALSO received the bonus costume code.

Everyone should have the pleasure of going to their local video game store and be able to purchase the goodness that is Demon's Souls.

What's up with SCEA? They gave Demon's Souls the shaft too. Lucky for us NA gamers Atlus picked up the publishing rights.

I have to wonder how much better the game would've sold with just a little push from SCEA. It's quickly becoming Atlus' best selling game in years.

Yep.  This is why I love Atlus.  They always publish interesting ips in the US that no one else would touch.  (let alone their great developed titles).

There is no way Sony even considered this game doing well in the US, so they had no real reason to market it.  Hell, even Atlus had no clue it would sell this well.  Thus the early shortages.

Maybe it's just me... but if a game is available in a language you understand does it matter really that it has to be locally published? In all honesty, and fairness, for a game that's complete in English, and the console region free (one of the BIGGEST advantage over the other consoles for me), I don't see why Sony would mass market this game...

If the person wants to play it, they could easily get the cheaper Asian version... I guess, it's a little different if it had online aspect to it...

I will import it too but the price is horrible 79 Euro for a Game ?

Europe is the strongest Playstation market but still they treat us like second class gamers. Here they get the most money, sometimes I think they are just stupid. Demon Souls is one of the best games for the PS3 and they dont release it ? Is there a reason for NOT releasing DS in Europe ?

Its a great exclusive what could happen ? I dont think DS would sell less then 250k in Europe.
They would still profit from it and could test the franchise.

i had to import this for xmas,can't wait any longer now,so will be playing it soon

but i don't get why they can't release it over here,if they release it the usa,doesn't make any sense to me,

they seem to do that with quite a few good games,does this mean that atlus/others only publish for the usa,i guess its just a much bigger/easier process than all the different eu countries maybe

This make sense, so the problem maybe is that theres not enough publisher in eu.
