No, the PS2 will start to be manufactured in Brazil in the around May '09, Brazil has the potential to be as big a market as UK/Japan, the only thing stopping it is piracy and poverty, the minimum wage is still low but much better so the poverty line is improving and, making a long story short, they can make the PS2 much more affordable there when they manufacture the units there, if they can make the PS2 R$ 200 it would sell like hot cakes, more realistic though it'll be around R$400.
