Look at Square Enix. Final Fantasy XIII release date between JP and US is a year. It would be differnet if the products coming out of japan were superior to US releases, but quickly the US releases are becoming better. Halo, Gears of War, and GTA all US titles and all phenonial games.

But of course JP buyer are all too xenophibic to purchase any non-JP systems (X-BOX) or games.

With the rise of EU dollars surpassing JP annual spending of games and the ease of use of english in US and EU markets will cause JP games with year later release date become more and more out dated.
