you mean a “sony is so nice to us“ psychiological trick? would be interesting to see if you are right. i always thought sony likes this kind of psychology in many situations.

if your post where you said console with all taxes would be $984 is correct, i wonder why they don't just sell it for like $950 or $1000 and ask for what? $1800? that makes no sense at all, it's not as if the console would make a profit in other countries at launch...maybe +-0 without games.

These $984 is like if Sony uses all the official taxes in Brazil but companies makes deals with the goverment and actually nobody pays the full IPI (50%)... so this numbers is lower... I'm just giving the example that even with full taxes R$4000,00 is almost twice the price.
