People just didn't want to pay much money for gamin'. And there were lots of pirate PS2 disks that costed 3$. Now the games for 360 cost around 5-6$. Also when i worked in the hardware shop we sold no PS3s and plenty of 360s. |
Actually I think this proves my point perfectly. With $3 pirated games nobody is going to be even willing to pay $20 for a retail game. So what happens is very few games will get released in Russia. So your selection stinks. Also, the big 3 need to make money on hardware since they aren't going to make it up in software. So hardware prices are very inflated compared with other parts in the world. So someone in Russia pays the same as gaming as me (increased hardware, decreased software) but doesn't own retail releases and has a worse game selection than I do. If that's what you want go ahead and pirate to your life's intent.
