I think there's still a lot of issues around language, licensing and regulations that most companies just split up their worldwide releases in regions.

Europe and Australia are usually classified as the PAL region, Canada and North America as NTSC (though there are some companies that don't mind classifying their Australian sales in the North American region), and Japan is usually as NTSC-J.
