Great info BKK2. The Xbox 360 is VERY popular among the non-enthusiast gamers, and with kids too, so it's not surprising 360 has strong sales here. It has taken the spot the PS2 left.

In the case of the Wii, its sold to the very enthusiast like myself.

 

Yeah Fazz,you're right but you like me know the very key of the 360's sucess here on Mexico:The piracy.

From 25 people I know that got a 360,20 of them had mod it and only buy piracy games,and therefore this affect the Wii in the same way,the measure (or percent) is minus,from 7 guys that owns a Wii of people I know only two of them have mod their Wii.

The PS3 is just expensive insane and without the piracy option doesn't appeal the gaming masses,just like his older bros (PSone&PS2) did it in past times.

Damn,I only know two weird people like me that have a PS3 and don't try to kill for that Fazz

 

Definitely, here in Mexico there are millions of gamers, but only few of them buy their games legally or in authorized stores (because of prices). That's why many think here we are not interested in videogames.... sad but true.

 

Wii here costs about US $400 , Xbox 360 US $450 dls and PS3 about US $600-650 dls at least
