Why?

Well if Uk/European customers get their games first, there is a subsection of American gamers who throw hissy fits and childish tantrums and call for boycotts. America is a big market for games companies and they don't want to piss them off so better to time it so everyone gets it at the same time/Americans get there first.
Australia has GTA 5 for at least 3/4 days now. We seem to get games a couple of days early, same with some new release movies.
