Removal of 'EU' release date

I was not aware that the infobox on the en.wiki subdomain for video games was only for JP/English speaking countries, so I think it is a good question whether there is any sense to list the 'EU' release date as 1986?

Some factors to consider: The 'PAL-A' region consisted of Australia, the UK, and Italy. The NES was released in 1987 in these countries. The 'PAL-B' region was the rest of(mostly) Europe.

Given that PAL-B was non-English speaking, should it be removed?

US launch price

The reference for the $179 US launch price is a book I can't check. ( Levin, Martin (November 20, 1985). "New components add some Zap to video games". San Bernardino County Sun. p. A-4.)

This is for the US Deluxe set and if I'm not mistaken, it's the pack with ROB, the zapper, 2 games…

I found this reference on the web : https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Launch_price It says that it cost $199 for the basic set with Super Mario ans $249 for the Deluxe Set.

Can anyone check the 1st reference?
