All the consoles are released on different days! why! and what do they think about it?
The Japanese are at the brink of the Electronic world, they make all the hardware and even most of the best games seen on our glorious consoles.
The American's make loads of top quality games and are the guinea pigs for most British games.
We English happen to get the best of everthing, we get the fastest Tvs, fastest games, improved everything, + the games are usually written in English, which helps quite a lot.
What do the Japanese and American's think about this?
We know how we feel, well most of us do, we either moan or rejoice about our situation, imports are avaliable but tricky and expensive, the wait is worth the extra mods and Pal versions are faster and more reliable.
We have very simple systems and although most of you aren't happy with some of the things you put up with it, and are happier to know that your framerate is faster or you have an extra cheat plugged into the game.
The Japanese don't complain, they get the games and consoles first and are bored with them long before they're released here, are they happy their first? or would they rather wait for the improved product? All their hi-tech equipment can't always tell what the customers want, and more often than not has to be changed one or two times before the companies happy with it.
On the other hand, the American's are part of the most Industralised continent in the world, do they really want all these consoles and games? of course they do, they're human just like you and me, Although they probably own half of every organisation running, doesn't mean they have a lot of choice about what goes on. They get consoles and games before us, even if we make them, but that's not a bad thing as they find out the bad points in the games and we get the polished final product.
We don't know all these answers, unless you have three seperate personalities which live in the three different countries, it would be hard to tell.
Are you happy you get the cream of the crop, or would you rather not wait and get it on the day of release?
thankyou

All good points, I thought most of you would rather have it before everyone else.
I have a few Aussie games, they seem alright, they're all Nintendo though so no problems as usual.

Why man! I mean we are one of the three major gaming countries in the world why don't they just realease them all at the same time I mean it's just nonsense isn't it! Think about it! You do realise that with nobody else on here at this time I can carry on talking a load of bull until I feel likI want to stop!
For once I posted a good message and I go and mess it up!..........
....I'll stop now, B0p

Us being last on the release list means that our games COULD be enhanced.
Most devellopers can't be arsed though.

Sadly it's true.
We can make more money there so its our top priority!
Wish more games developers would try and get the games out at the same time.

but in australia (also a pal territory) they get some games months before europe,
probably because they don't have to have all the european translations.

Although that's not always the case with foreign developers, as they tend to focus more on American and Japenese as the available market base there is the largest.
thay can also sort out any bugs before they bring it over here
I would rather wait. It heightens the anticipation and there are usually more games when it is released in the UK.
