I don't think they're neccessarally hating the European market... they release a tonne of games... they do listen to demands... they've opened specific bases for individual countries...
And the USA and European releases are far closer together than they used to be.
Metroid Prime last year being the exception was of course released in Europe in an updated form and Mario Kart was almost simultaneous.
Sadly it doesn't always work out that way... Nintendo haven't got a good release schedule for Japan at the moment... Pikmin 2 is needed to raise sales... whilst us Europeans have LOADS of games to come... same with the Americans...
Nintendo release games depending on the situation. Final Fantasy, Pikmin 2 and MGS TT could have been released last Christmas in America and Europe... but due to the already massive schedule of games for Christmas Nintendo decided to push these 3 big titles into 2004 in order to make their first half a year software line up better.
It's all a bussiness stratagy... us gamers that are forced to wait months and months for games that could have been done quicker though will continue to moan.

Man, I wish I could find the thread where somebody recently told me I was talking rubbish about Nintendo stiffing the European market.
That pleases me, although the all-round urgency will be lost.
Oh no the time limit for the day is still there... the rush of getting back before dark still exists...
Just the overall time limit of 30 days has been removed...
Clever thinking by the big N.

And that is why Nintendo will never be anything more than a distant 3rd in UK console sales - and a battling second (marginally) in Europe as a whole.
How can you release a game in April in Japan, but not in the USA until November. That’s a 6-month delay! Half a year!
And as we all know, the European release will be after the November date of the US version. So what, are we looking at Q1 2005 Euro release of this game? Maybe Christmas if we are very, veyr lucky?
That's nearly a full year after the game was originally released?
Oh dear Nintendo.

Ah, but that's what made it so great; frantically getting ship parts back and taking control of all the Pikmin still out battling. Without it, I doubt people would think of it as such a classic.
