Did you translate that yourself OP? Horrible job. You could have used Google Translate. Here ya go. Feel free to copy n' paste.

"The approval of the project $ 100 million from Sony by the Superintendency of the Manaus Free Zone (Suframa), last week, is still surrounded by some mystery. The first is uncertainty about which product will be manufactured in Brazil by the Japanese company. The text submitted to Suframa by Sony cites only the term "telejogo", quite possibly for reasons of confidentiality market. Within the range of branded products, it can mean both the Playstation 3 and the portable PS Vita (the imported version, incidentally, costs almost the same as the home console in the country).

Whatever the choice, there are many reasons to Sony to invest in this tropical country, blessed by God and gamer by nature. According to the Panorama report and Market Evolution of Games in Brazil, prepared by Sebrae, the local market is 40 million consumers, 51% of them over 19 years and economically active.

Even more impressive numbers were released this month in Brazil Game Show in Sao Paulo. The U.S. consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) says that the sector has the potential to achieve a turnover of U.S. $ 4 billion by 2016, with an average growth of 7.1% per year. Only in 2011 electronic games generated £ 840 million to the industry."
