195 for the A320 vs 189 for the 737-800 are the exit limits. It is what the plane is certified for, and is mostly a function of the size and number of doors. It has little to do with typical or comparable seating configurations. At similar density/comfort level a 737-800 seats more than an A320. The 737 MAX 200 is a modified 737 MAX 8 with an extra pair of exit doors so that it can seat up to 200 passengers. It will be used by Ryanair. Assuming the 737 MAX does fly again of course.
