I read a small article in one of my gaming magazines about the strategy Publishers use in releasing their games at different times.
It's one of the reasons why there are NTSC (?) and PAL versions - so the publishers can control the release in respective countrise. If everyone had the same version, then people could import. I don't know why they want separate releases. probably so their marketing teams are over-stretched. One could argue, though, that they should have individual marketing teams in each country...
