The DS launch was similar. It launched in NA before Japan. Why? Christmas is an important holiday in NA and Europe, not so much in Japan.

Oh and the NES also launched at $200(with two controllers and Super Mario Bros). There was also a $250 deluxe pack that included ROB, the zapper, gyromite and duck hunt.
