Revolution to launch outside of Japan first?

One of the most intriguing tidbits that came out of Jim Merrick's Eurogamer interview is that the Nintendo Revolution won't necessarily launch in Japan first. Merrick hinted that the launch might "not follow the stereotypical formula of Japan first, then the US, then Europe some time later... Anything's possible." It's doubtful that Nintendo has the resources for a simultaneous worldwide launch—even Microsoft doesn't seem capable of handling that smoothly—but perhaps the Big N has a few last tricks up its sleeve after all...
