I edited it in after you quoted

Converted to US dollars PS5 is
US 500
Australia US 455 US 559
Canada US 501
China US 525
Europe US 550 (however Europe prices include tax, up to 21%)
Japan US 441
Mexico US 625
UK US 566 (also includes 20% VAT, so US 472 before tax)

So Mexico is overpaying (unless tax is added there to), Australia and Japan are getting a deal. (Shorter shipping?)
Mexico probably has high import fees on gaming.

Bolded both these have it better than USA how are they that low Yen and AUS? Or are they low like that because of other reason?

Fuel prices and thus shipping costs have increased as well. Maybe Australia also has favorable import duties, there's a lot of penny pinching before a product arrives on the shelves.

Actually I did it wrong, I converted the digital edition price for Australia it's actually US 559, so more expensive in Australia. Maybe also sales tax included. Japan price is correct, yet that's home country with the least shipping costs and no import duties.
