Violence is not the problem. I mean, we have more cell phone lines than people around here.
But you won't see people walking with them hanging around either. You can see some on buses, as people said earlier.
Numbers for Brazil (and probably most of LA) are hard to track since it's usually cheaper to buy from outside the country than from official retailers (I don't know, has Wii even been launched here?). from launch up to (I believe) last year you could find stores where Wii was more expensive then PS3, but no matter what console it's always cheaper (and usually much cheaper) to import it or buy on or from Uruguay or Paraguay (even more if you happen to live on the south) or even from someone who did that then from actual retail, same go for games.
Even then, Sony does have a pretty big grip on the minds of people around here and they do seem to try more than the others. It's good to see the interest from the big players, it might go a long way to make prices here more reasonable if only our government is willing to listen.
