Read the thread title Icarus.

Well they chopped off Abe's fourth finger to sell in the Japanese market but I don't think it really worked. I'm not an expert but I think AO only sold okay in Japan. Someone told me that MO wasn't even released there but I'll need a confirmation on that.

The first 2 Oddworld games were'nt even relised in Japan.
They made Japaniese versions just for that very reason. "Abe 99' " and "Abe a GO-GO".

yep Abe a Go-Go is the same as the Oddysee.
and Abe 99 is the same as the Exoddus.

I'm not quite sure for the 2 xbox games

Did Abe 99 not have 300 mudokons in it?
...or did the game come out in 1999 in Japan?

Okay...
I could see how the others were getting confused thinking Abe 99 was actually AO.
