Not only that the import scene in countries where the console has been officially released is fairly small. There's a reason why most shops that deal with imported games in places like the US are mostly small independently owned shops. Places like Gamestop and EB hardly ever dealt with them. The only time I can really remember places like Gamestop and EB dealing with import games is when Sega wasn't supported the Saturn here anyone so they'd sell things like Radiant Silvergun, Deep Fear, X-Men vs. Street Fighter along with the region free cart/adapter.
