One factor that is different is because your DK price includes VAT, which the US price does not.

The second factor is that the exchangerate from YEN to DKK is different than the one for YEN to USD.

 

I did this calculation for sweden and if you subtracted our VAT and adjusted for exchangerate our switches are about 10 % (or one game :P ) more expensive than in the US. So these 10 % I can't explain (migth be import duties or something) but it's not as much as it seems when you only take the price on the shelf here and compare it to the US shelf price (since USA has a strange habit of not including VAT in the shelf price).

Then why is the PS4 the same price here as in the US, if its includeing VAT?

End of the day it doesnt matter why, only that there is a big price differnce between the PS4 and Switch here.

And I think it costs Nintendo sales.

I don't know that. But I know that my statement holds true for the Switch (for sweden). I mean a PS4 slim is cheaper here than a Nintendo Switch.
