When are people going to stop repeating this myth? The price in Europe includes taxes and recycling fees, which by themselves are enough to bring the true price (i.e. what Sony receives) down to about 320 € or $470. I'm not even considering other possible taxes or retailer charges.
Add in the fact that distributing consoles in Europe is more expensive, and you don't end up very far from what they make in the USA.
In case you care, I'm NJ5, my account is not working so I'm using this one temporarily.
