There are also things one doesn't take into account at first. Years ago, shippping a container from China to Europe was around $2800. Now it currently sits around $10500. Getting the contents of the containers from the harbour to places also increased in price greatly. In the end, Sony was right with the price increase from their point of view.

And shipping to Europe is considerably costlier than to USA right?

I just had to check the whole thing and prices have been significantly decreasing.

Container shipping basically is a logistical portto-port thing, distances and tme are not that decisive. I think shipping a container to either Europe or west coast USA only differs by roughly 10-15% (in favour of USA).
