LOL nobody buys consoles in Russia unless the modchip is available to play pirated games. Usually the console is sold with the modchip already installed. The only game market that has to some extent overcome piracy is PC gaming because of radically reduced prices. Legitimate copies of localized PC games are sold for $10-15. This is the maximum that can be charged for the game, otherwise people would buy a $5 pirate disc or just download the game from the internet (many internet providers connect their users with a LAN which typically contains huge repositories of pirated softare, games, music and movies). Russian market won't save the PS3 - that's for sure.
