Default Marketplace Apps Pricing: What's going on?

Short and simple rant: Why in the world are the local prices for apps in Marketplace priced at 25% higher than the current US$ exchange rate? Both Android Market and Apple App Store just bill in native currency (and in Android's case, offers a rough approximation in your local currency) and be done with it. Who's sucking up the extra money and why?

PS. Also, does Xbox Live integration add a price premium? Existing titles on iOS and Android are still cheaper, ignoring currency situation as described above.
