Questions of uncertainty

• Are there any differences between the two companies (Nintendo Power and Prima) when they cover the same game?
• Is North America the only country to have official guides? What about Europe or Japan? If so, how are those handled?
• How does the process of writing up a strategy guide go during game development? (I bet there's potential beta elements info out of this, like this!)
• How does an external company get rights to write a strategy guide? Did Nintendo talked to Prime Games, or the other way around? (Looking at Prime Games per say)
• Why didn't Nintendo go over companies that wrote "unauthorized" strategy guides of their games? What about in the internet?
• Is there a lack of new content that can't be found in-game in later strategy guides?
• How many units are issued whenever a game comes out? Do they issue more units if they sold out?
• Why do strategy guides still exist in the market even though the internet has broken the paywall to great info?
