This isn't new, as the Japanese 3ds was also cheaper. Good way to make foreigners feel unwelcome in Japan so good job nintendo? - Kotaku In Action 2

Wow, a product that stays in the country it is produced in is cheaper than a product shipped 4000 miles away by container and then truck to a foreigner. Who could have possibly foreseen this?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if a lot of JDM electronics were manufactured domestically while the same model is produced for export in cheap Chinese factories. And they were still making export models in Japan at least as late as the Gamecube.
