Note These are the US releases of the products- This list is not perfect I am sure, some information may be incorrect, feel free to correct me if you find any inconsistencies.

Yea, that too is what I was thinking when I was looking these up, I would post the JPN releases to show how they differ form each other, but like you said you can prob guess that they arent as focused on the xmas holiday, if I remember correctly.
