If the support team responds to or requests extra information for a reported issue, it will be moved to Being Addressed/Currently Reviewing. The report will be moved to Resolved Issues if it is not replied to over an extended period.
I seem to recall the giant 140 page thread requesting information. There's been plenty of replies, so it can't be moved to the resolved issues for lack of information. But they won't move it into the currently reviewing forums, because they can't acknowledge it.

It's rough for them. This is already their second try, there is no choice but to commit seppuku if they admit more mistakes. Fixing it most likely will increase the already way over budget cost even further. Since the customers with issues already paid, losing them is acceptable. Markets outside Japan isn't that important anyway. Maybe Phil Fish and Keiji Inafune is right.
