Xenoblade Chronicles confirmed for US release, and there was much rejoicing

There's been a pretty fervent online campaign urging Nintnedo to release this game Stateside and it looks like we'll be getting it... as a GameStop exclusive. April 2012

So I've heard...

I really hope this thing sells. Maybe more games will get localized and/or remade.

Japan actually ARRESTS pirates. They have a whole section of their police force dedicated to it.

Well, apparently they still do it more because the US is (very surprisingly) the last on that list.

Oh, no doubt. I meant that as proof that piracy is much more widespread there. Or maybe its actually about the same, but since its a much smaller country the percentage is higher?

Have you taken the size of the countries into account?

Whether it happens more, or more often. Both are still scaleable against each other.

China is #17. Not surprising but i expected higher.
