Does Nikon try to gain market with agressive pricing?

After comparing the newest -ML- fast long teles from both Canon and Nikon, I nearly fell off my chair... The Canon RF 800/5.6 L IS USM is priced at € 19949 while the Nikon Z 800/6.3 VR S is set @ € 7299 a half-stop faster cannot justify an x2,7 times price difference... Is Nikon's aggressive price ...
