It's the same reason why goods are more expensive in Europe than they are in the US. Those countries charge higher taxes. That cost doesn't get eaten by the manufacturer. You pay for it.

Console prices have been basically the same.

PS4 launch price:

400$ without VAT

400€ including VAT

 

Basically one main reason is that in Europe taxes are usually included in the sales price already, unlike the US.

Your VAT is more than double my sales tax lol
