Well, im in latin america and i just got me a PS3, bought it at amazon and told a friend to bring it here cost me 580 bucks, but if you want to buy it in a store here, it will cost you UD$1000 (most poeple have to save for more than a year to see this amount of money and a parents will never pay that much for a "toy"), amazing, i know, but guess what? the wii is US$500. Store offer loans to buy next gen consoles but even then they sell very few. If you are wondering why the PS2 is still selling, look no further, here it still beats the crap out of all next gen console put together in terms of sales.
the PlayStation brand is very strong here but, game companies often overlook this market because of piracy, about 50% of console owner use only copies and they dont care that they are banned from the XBL or PSN, and goverments do very little or nothing to prevent it or stop it.
The only way for sony to sell it here, is if it sell for at least the real US price , but local taxes will make that very difficult.
