They can only make so many consoles in such a short amount of time so supply becomes an issue for launching worldwide all at once. Due to this, Nintendo probably had to choose a region to prioritize first. Reasons for choosing America most likely include:
- Getting the Wii U out before Black Friday. (Wii U comes out the Sunday before...)
- The holiday shopping season is a much bigger deal in America compared to Japan.
- Consoles tend to be more popular here while handhelds tend to be more popular in Japan.
Uh? You get it the same day as Europe which is the 30th. We get it the 18th.

Oh, I'm not even too fussed about getting the WiiU. Whilst E3 did hype it up a lot for me, I'd say I'm still not too convinced as to whether I really want it or not. Although I don't doubt my brother or someone will buy it as soon as it's released, so then I guess I could share it if they're being generous. I am still really excited for AC3DS, though.

Seriously? Is it that much of an issue whether the fact that what region recieves the Wii U first? Personally all that matters is that the Wii U IS coming out this year! How do you know the release dates of each different country around the world? You could be wrong......unless you could prove it.....

The weather's been weird here in England today (or at least where I live)... It's just been a little cold, a little windy, but just grey and gloomy and gah... I also think I'm coming down with a cold, it's just that time of year though. That being said, I personally love Autumn and Winter!
Anyway, I read on Wikipedia that the WiiU will be released on:
November 18th - North America
November 30th - Europe and Australia
December 8th - Japan
Not sure why Japan's getting the WiiU last, but oh well. That's what I've read and I know the information could be inaccurate (since you can't always trust Wikipedia), but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough once all the WiiU ads start popping up on TV...
Edit; Unless there have been adverts already. I wouldn't know since I don't particularly watch TV all that much.

School does suck. It's so boring, I mean... Well, all the lessons are boring, that is, but being able to see my friends is quite nice, but they had all been off ill these past few days too. Guess there just must be some bugs going around school, unfortunately.
