Just as the title says. I notice that it usually takes 3 or 4 years for VN to get a proper English release. And there are the really, really long-overdue one like Muv-Luv.

Is it because the VN market isn't very big in the West? Because there are cultural differences (If so, what criteria is there to choose a VN to translate and release in the West)? Because Japanese companies do not and can not actively approach the American market?
