Gamekyo : One Piece video games won't be released in France

One Piece video games won't be released in France

Namco Bandai has confirmed to Gamekyoduring Japan Expo in Paris that One Piece video games won't be released in France. This decision has been taken mainly because One Piece video games don't sell very well in the USA.

I don't understand... It will not be released in France because it doesn't sell well in US... But France is number 1 market for Manga no? Maybe not in quantity, but in ratio. That mean potential is great. I guess. It's a sad news.

Then, I guess that they won't release the game in any European Country... I don't really care myself, but they should know that One Piece is much more popular in Europe (in italy it is, at least) than in the United States.

Yes France is number 1 for Manga just after Japan, but you know Namco Bandai Europe make their decision after Namco Bandai USA sales, it's stupide yes but it's like that. They need to change their way of work, for example Nintendo Europe makes their own descision. US market is differnt from Euro especialy for manga. And yes it's not only for France but all Europe.
