As for europe... in the EU, there are laws which forbidd a company to sell products below acquisition cost of its components. IF the PS5s BoM would sum up to - lets say - X$ then the PS5s price would have to be equal/above that in europe. |
Laws of this sort do exist in the US. But, they're only enforced when a competitor complains, and even then there are also tons of loopholes. In other words, they're not a factor in console prices. Sony can give the system away for free if they want.
