While it may look good to be leading a resurgent Xbox in NA taking your best market for granted is a dangerous game to play and the longer it goes on the more dangerous it becomes .
Even though the PS3 did go from struggling to sell 60/70 million to eventually sneaking past the 360 with around 87 mill sold helping see Sony out of the doldrums to at least having a little wind in their sails coming into the next gen, it was mainly Europe that drove the PS4's increase something that in turn helped strengthen both the Sony and PlayStation brand image worldwide.
There may be logistical reasons to the discrepancy, but if I put money on it, it would be due to there focus not being about how the PS4's overall sales success was achieved and how to replicating but that their pride took over and retaining NA became the focus, now that's ok except they have done so at the expense of other areas.

US dollar is stronger than the Euro, I suspect they will release a different model next year and/or will try to reduce their cost and will start shipping more units into Europe next year.
But that's just my opinion.

You may be right about next year since the drop to 6nm already means more chips per wafer and a cheaper revision in the form of my PS5 1202A so supply should continue to build and the combination of the cheaper revision and the price rise to 499 euro equating to $529 per console should see more stock moving to Europe regardless.
