Well yes (at least in the short period) but what I meant is that seem to me a choice more dicated for commercial reasons (the market of Arcade cabinets it's almost not existing overseas) that for a real reason to give a preference to the Japanese players.
If they released MR for consoles in the West only, that wouldn't hurt their stupid arcade revenue at all because it's an entirely different market since we do not have the arcade. "Oh, but that wouldn't be fair to JP console owners." And this is fair to us how? At least they have the option to play her somehow. We're screwed.
Oh, and I'd like to hear why they feel the need to delay the upcoming patch for consoles. It's not like they need more time to perfect it. If that were the case they'd push it back for the arcade as well. It's not like giving the console the patch at the same time as the arcade would cause some West players who were considering flying out to Japan to play the patch early to not go and thus lose arcade revenue. Only reason is because JP favoritism.
And while we're on the topic, I'd still appreciate a frame data guide for 5U to be released in the West.
