Don't forget Pokemon Black/White; they came out in Europe 2 days earlier, too.
The reason is simple: Nintendo games are always released in Europe on a Friday, and in America on a Sunday. Nintendo clearly want move the releases to be near-simultaneous (to get away from the days of having the EU release a month or two after the US one), so it's a choice between 2 days before, or 5 days after. They have gone for the nearer date.

Well it's better than the Kirby's Epic Yarn release dates.

October 2010 for US, February 2011 for Europe.
