Damn I'd be pissed if I lived in Europe and had bought a PAL console locally. Glad I only live in Europe and never even considered PAL an option... I really can't complain about the flow of games on the US NTSC platform.

By the time Europe gets Super Paper Mario I'll probably be playing Galaxy.

I still check my friendly Canadian exporter once in a while out of curiosity. I never found it in stock except for this one time when it was my turn to place an order.

Maybe they should just break their/they're/there region down into sub-regions with different release dates.

No because EU laws state that you can't restrict sales to one part of the EU so if they released the UK version first the rest of Europe could buy that. Means people will buy the game before it's officially sold to them! The horror!

PC games somehow manage to come out in Europe on the same day (or at least week) as in the US. Some console publishers (e.g. EA) even manage that. Why can't a company as f###ing huge as Nintendo get that done?

Because their not one company.  Their really a whole lot a of little companies they license for.

Iwata says shortages are "abnormal," and "promised production was being boosted to increase deliveries by next month"

"Next month" is a far cry from 2009, Nintendo is not that troglodytic.

14 million consoles in a fiscal year is a little conservative for my tastes. I think Nintendo is waiting for the bubble to burst.
