Tri came out in NA over 8 months after the Japanese release, so I don't know where you got the idea that "Tri came out in America at around the same time as it did in Japan". Also, The release date in Europe was 3 days after the NA release, nowhere near the 6 months that you seem to think it usually takes. So, in short, if there is a western release, it will almost certainly won't come out before Christmas (in 2011 that is, before Christmas 2012 is entirely possible).
