But it's all about market size, not who is richest.
Agozer Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 to partly answer my own question, Europe releases get shafted because of the extra work caused by localizations to other languages than english (yes, I'm looking at you Germany and France). Also, porting the game to run on PAL systems isn't always an easy task.
Weirdy Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 there are no euro sales figures yet cause it hasn't been realesed out there yet ...I think
Wizard Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Also, porting the game to run on PAL systems isn't always an easy task.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah, damn your 50Hz.
Gryph Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Most german students know english why bother?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Because there are probably a lot more Germans who don't know English well enough than those that do.
