| FilaBrasileiro said: Talking about Brazil the playstation brand is pretty big, huge actually, but most people buy bootlegged games for PS1 and PS2. The XBox and Nintendo also have brand recognition there, but not as big as playstation (well maybe Nintendo is just as big), the main problem is the price, whenever I go to Brazil I take a PS3, PSP, Wii or whatever and sell it there, I easily make at least 300-400 US dollar profit on them. The game price is also absurd, 130 US dollars for a brand new (legal) game. For a developing country the prices are just too high so most people resort to piracy. |
don't laugh, but i saw a bog standard PAL copy of MGS4 going for US$155 on the weekend.
GTA4 was also $155.
Yes i'm in a third world country, but that price is just rediculous.
interestingly, there are virtually no 360 games or conloles here either...
