JRPGs give no love for the UK

As some of you may know I am an avid RPG gamer, I mostly enjoy JRPGs as they're a type f game we usually don't see over here in the UK mainly since the title would suggest they are Japanese games (derp) One of the best companies for these type of games in my opinion would be Atlus, the creators of such amazing games such as Etrian Odyssey and the Shin Megami Tensai series of games.

Enough praise and down to the situation at hand, the UK just doesn't receive any of these games until much after their Japanese and American releases, I'm still desperatly awaiting for the release date of Shin Megami Tensai 4 and I can't even import it due to the 3DS being region locked, region locking is another really annoying thing (but that's for another post)

Matter of the fact is that I'm really curious as to why we are getting it so late? Great Britian must appear as Average Britain in the eyes of Atlus and other JRPG game makers like Rising Star games...Still waiting for Rune Factory 4 guys...well my dreams are yet to be furfilled and I shall remain envious of my American and Japanese friends until these companies realise there is a good market for their games over in the UK too. Well anywho this was more of a rant in order to vent my frustration and who knows this may become a recurring thing, weekly rant has a nice ring to it. Farewell and happy gaming friends.
