You know it could be they delay it because they know it will help their 1st quarter sales not because they couldn't port it over earlier. This has been my long held suspicion.Feanor wrote:Your comment is ridiculous.JRod wrote:Well it's been this way since WE7, so it's more disgraceful that people aren't expectant of it.Feanor wrote:The delay in this being released in America is disgraceful. I'm waiting for the PC release of PES 2009 this October to get back into the series properly.
I did actually play a couple of games of WE:PES 2007 on the PS2 last night for a video I'm making.
Of course I was expecting it, and the game was actually delayed an extra month this year. Just because it's not a surprise, doesn't mean it isn't a disgrace. Especially when Konami make little to no improvements in the four and half months they wait to release the game in America.
There's no excuse for the way Konami give American gamers the shaft. European gamers complain when a game like Final Fantasy 12 takes five extra months to get released over there, but at least in that case there's a million words of dialogue to be translated.
For as incompetent we think Konami is, it's still a business and this probably has to do more with strategy over sales.
The more I regard gaming as a business the less disappointed, I am when EA takes over TT2, or Konami sells WE in March.
