I was wondering since PSO2 is the latest of many PS games... Would anyone know who retains more American players over time? The Japanese servers or North American?

But the current population of english speaking players is pretty much limited to block 20 on ship 2 and smaller concentration around ships 8 and 10 and even small groups scattered among the rest.
Of course we won't see numbers yet, but it's only logical that the rest of the world will mostly be playing on the version with a language they can understand and probably a better connection than Sega of Japans servers.

Well the other PS games' NA/international servers always lag behind and get canned early so my vote goes to the JP servers.
International will retain more Americans...since the game will be in English.
What you're really asking is what will be the difference between International Community and JP.
International will
-have more casual,
-have more Lobby Dancers,
-retain more American players.
-less lag issue
I don't think PSO2 will be too successful in US because of FFXIV 2.0 and remembering what happened to PSU International...
From my PSU Int. experience, half the community only logs in for 1-2 weeks after every update. The problem with that is: Segamerica is really slow with updates. It was probably 1-2 Months between updates, and here in PSO2 JP, updates are like every 2- weeks.
JP servers will
-be more competitive; more hardcore and "active" players
-have at least twice the population of International
-retain more total players
Players that want content released in JP Schedule will stay JP.
Also many, Japanophiles, soloists, and elitists will stay in JP.
Don't worry about not being able to find English speakers in PSO2 JP.
Block 20 will always be there and many JP can understand English.
