Part of the problem in making these comparisons is that VAT is folded into the advertised price, whereas American sales' taxes aren't. In my area, for example, that "$500" card would actually cost $540. Granted, our sales' taxes are lower than Euro VAT, but they're not nothing.

You are from LA and I guess you dont know what import fees and taxes are here in EU countries.
If a GPU in US cost $500 MSRP then in my country will cost

$500 = 480€
480 + 23% VAT = 590€ at least.
If the supply is limited then it can go way above 600€ up to 650~700€, some times even more.

The ~600€ is pretty much guaranteed for a new $500 MSRP US product with plenty of a supply.

I am living in LA now, but only moved here 6 years ago. I was born & raised in Europe with a 20% Tax so yes I know how it works there...
US companies do care about US numbers 1st. Same for Movies, if they don't work in the US then there will be no sequel. That's just how the industry works here.
