Accounting for currency conversion. Australia is actually cheaper than the USA for once at an equivalent $488.76 USD. ($649 AUD.)
Still. If you don't wish to pay that price. You have the cheaper Playstation 4 Pro. Don't wish to pay the Playstation 4 pro price? Then you have the Playstation 4 and Xbox One and Switch. Don't wish to pay that price? Buy a 3DS.
There is something for everyone as far as consoles are concerned at almost every price point.
