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.

The EU itself is also a market which will face a massive decline this decade thanks to the energy and inflation problem Europe is facing. We'll also having to deal with the aftermath of the Ukrainian war. So aside from the euro being weak, console owners in the US will on average buy a lot more games per system. People don't understand how big of a crisis most European countries are facing. Cheap and affordable energy is like oxygen to the economy.
