I am guessing the US/N. America based region executives felt the N. American consumer market would only be interested in sports games (Madden Football) or action games (Star Wars).

Star Wars fans are going to disagree with that since they are looking forward to swinging around input devices in their living rooms (mouse/joystick/keyboard/glove) while accidentally knocking over furniture pieces when playing Star Wars.
