Price discrimination. They can charge higher prices in different markets and what to keep it that way.
The American market may be large but the
median American has a relatively low income compared to many other developed nations hence the lower price.
In other countries prices are higher because that is what the market there can bear. However, they don't want Europeans buying stuff on the cheap from America destroying their cash cow.
Look at DVD regions for another example of this.
