Stuff in Japan is almost always more expensive than it is in the U.S. The 300$ is going by Yen/Dollar conversion rates, but every nintendo system has been cheaper when brought over to the U.S. I'm betting on a 220-250$ price range.
I agree with you though, I'm probably going to wait for 2nd gen, more games & possibly system aesthetic redesign like the DS to DS lite
