In a recent interview with Michael Ephraim, Sony's managing director for Australia and New Zealand, claims that Australia has too small of a population to sell the PS3 any cheaper.
The higher price was justified, he said, because factors such as Australia's currency exchange rate and small population size when compared with the US led to a higher cost of doing business.
"We have to realise that we live in a country with 22 million people, and the US supplies product to 300 million, which creates very different business dynamics," Ephraim said.
Australia...($999.95)
Japan.......($640)....¥60,000
US..........($770)....$US599
Europe......($1000)...€599
They must be really going out of there way to not sell a lot of systems or something.
