Let's explain a little thing, EU price includes VAT, that in most states for not strictly vital commodities is almost everywhere 20% here, while normally US price is sales tax excluded (if even applies, doesn't happen in all states, IIRC), but anyway EU prices with 1€=$1 are always overpriced if the exchange rate is more than $1.2 for 1€.
When people were less aware, some resellers tried to justify more than VAT EU overprice with duty, but amongst developed countries members of WTO duties on most goods, electronics included, are harmonized, so on a console produced both outside USA and EU European and Americans pay the same duty.
