I would not hold my breath for good sales of PS3 in countries located in South America and other Latin American countries. PS3 consoles are rumoured to sell for around $1000 US in Brazil and Argentina. Bear in mind small markets guarantees higher prices for consoles and games. That is how things work. USA and Japan pay the lowest prices for consoles and games due to having large video game markets. Europe, South America, Australiasian countries pay higher prices for consoles and games due to having much smaller video game markets in comparison to USA and Japan. |
That's not always true, Brazil is the 5th country with most population in the world (behind China, India, US and Indonesia) with 187,276,000, Argentina has 40,677,348 people (50th), their % of people who buy VGs is small compared to the US, Japan and Europe ones, is a fact, but is not smaller than the Panama market, which has 3,343,000 people (133rd), and we still get most of the time the cheapest consoles in all Latin America (except Puerto Rico because they get the NA price).
