As the brazillian market started to gain some traction in gaming market, it's time to start track down this sales. The data is from GFK brasil, and is publish monthly by IGN Brasil . If you follow this kind of threads( or used to) , you know that the last time i made this ranking was a long time ago, back more than one year. Anyway, it seems that the former outlet that put out these rankings, veja magazine, just stoped caring at once. All seemed lost, but then, ign started operating in Brasil, and they are know providing us with more data about the actual sales data that GFK put out. They only give us the ranks, not actual sales off each game(like in UK), and monthly, not weekly. They realease some notes too, but i not this month, appeareantly. Important to point out that there are some big changes on the tracking too. Now, they are including actual-gen consoles, but they droped nintendo all togheter. Understantable, since nintendo droped Brasil all together too in the end of the last year. Anyway, the numbers:

Comments: most of the top new generation games are the exclusives ones, even the ones that are not that good it seems. Anyway, its nice to see a big wide of diversity, with games like MGR revengenace, Castelvania lord of sahdow, Just Dance, Far cry, and etc. As always, ubisoft is doing pretty good around here. Still, the mortal kombat first place is odd because the voice over from the translation was heavily criticised over here because the voice of cassie cage was done by a singer, instead of a actor. Anyway, the power of the brand is still strong, i guess, but is good to see new ips on the top too. This is all folks, till next month(hopefully).
"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."
