I believe it has to do with the cost for Europeans to buy our stuff.

I know for sure that Japanese view our products as a bargain. Everything is soooo cheap in the US compared to Japan. The Japanese have money to spend that won't even dent their wallets.

If an American were to go to Japan, everything there is EXPENSIVE and many cannot afford to go to Japan. Also, cost of living is very expensive as well but is compensated with a much higher wage in Japan.

Bottom Line: We are acustomed to what we pay for goods in the US. Japanese view it as a bargain for what er pay. We look at what the Japanese pay for goods in Japan, and we view it as "man, that is expensive! How can they afford that?"

More potential for Japanese to spend money on our products that Europeans, Not all, may not have. (I am not saying Europeans are poor - just that Euros may find out products a liitle more expensive)
