Larian is self publishing their upcoming titles. While there could potentially be problems with certain distributors, I can't see every distributor in North America wanting to wait to see sales results from Europe, etc.
I doubt there are people in the community who does not know the fact that Larian is a self-publishing developer, it is like written all over. What puzzles me is why did you mention America? How is this related to english language/version in general? Benelux release was english release (well, it was multi but it contained english as primary) and it is Europe as well, along with german one. What the issue to release it at the same time as german one? I mean digitally, of course, retail version isn't really important for me. As long as the game has the ability to switch to english language - I'm fine with any kind of edition (that's why i bought german original back then in early 2009 - it had english localization hat could be enabled via so-called "language hack").
