Well the US dollar and Australian dollar are worth essentially the same. Secondly shipping costs would be cheaper because those consoles were probably made in China, so easier to ship from Asia to Australia than to the US. And lastly I would say tax alone wouldn't cause this increase in price. A big example are digital products like Adobe CE which were $1,500 more in Australia than the US for no good reason.
