As far as the pushing the Pacific, history has a way of repeating itself, for the good or otherwise. BOS is BOB covered in snow.
Pacific would not be a so globally appealing title as you think. Sure, US users would be crazy about it, but US is not a whole world, and if you take decreased attention span of current user base, Pacific might be unpopular even in US as it would cover large, monotonic areas (lots of water), include lots of IFR flying, and have low average target density. Player has to be either a hardcore simmer or be driven by national pride to enjoy that, and this does make PTO risky for the beginning of series.
