In the wake of brazillian market as the fourth country in the world in gaming market, and fifth in consoles alone(take that, random europe first world country), it's time to start track down this sales.


Got any proof of that ? 


Last year, we had during the BGS (Brasil Game Show- "Brazillian E3") a presentation made by Oliver Römerscheidt, from GFK, the same one that provides the UK chart every week. He stated that, in video games, we alreadly surpassed UK, Spain and Gemany( we are still losing for France). Its important to remark: we are talking about money alone, not units. So, if we consider that the  average game in europe cost €50 and in brazil its cost €60, we should consider that there is a chance that this number is not exactly straight foward.

Another point: this data is from september 2013. The consoles launched in november potentialy revitalizated the market in europe to some extent in some countries. But this not necessarily applies to brazil, since the cost of then are still too high(ps4:US$1900, X1: US$900).

But ih still don't trhust me, here some pics:

"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
