Why is there a Silent Hill: Homecoming release date difference?

Question

the game is released in september in north america but in europe it's released in novemeber. why the 2 month difference?

Answer 1

It's a common theme with games. An American version is generally first since it only has to be translated into a few languages whereas a European version has 7 or more languages to be translated into. Of course, sometimes games are released first in Europe and sometimes they're not released at all (see Chrono Trigger SNES).
