I mean, we had Wii Play for ages before the US did (not that that's a major cause for \o/ but getting a buch of mini-games with your second controller was nice) and, iirc, we got Mario Strikers before them too. Did that make up for the delays to Super Paper Mario and Metroid Prime 3? Hmm... perhaps not, but it's a step in the right direction. Obviously a global launch of all products would be best. Looks like Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii are our "compensation" for the fact we've still not got Super Smash Bros. Brawl over here.
