Really? Thats weird. The order of Game releases is usually First Japan, Then Europe, THEN THE USA last….
And also, games are cheeper in North America probably since we don;t have a really excellent economy right now, so Video Game companies need to make them cheeper so people can still afford them.
(You may not know, but America is sort of going through a depression right now)

It may be since many games have been programmed by american software houses and they are also distributed by american game distributors…
Also they could have been invented specially for the US market and the european version was not considered at the commencement…
Probably we are not so much vital for american people…
Have you ever considered that the most innovative and advanced video games in the world are produced and sold only in Japan?
