Do we have the convertion ratio when each of these consoles was launched? It may not have as much to do with the current ratios as is does with what the ratios were at launch. I am assumming the prices were set at that point and the manufactures don't want to fluctuate the price weekly just to keep up with the yen to £ or the zen to $ ratios.
