| elnino334 said: CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA: Latin America remains a haven for piracy. Evidence supporting this claim includes escalated violence in Mexico against police conducting anti-piracy raids, extraordinarily high tariffs and taxes placed on the sale of authentic video games in Brazil and widespread corruption in Paraguay. During the past year, Nintendo assisted local authorities with more than 65 actions that resulted in the seizure of approximately 230,000 counterfeit Nintendo games in Brazil, Mexico and Paraguay alone. Despite Nintendo's efforts, the piracy levels continued to rise. Nintendo is calling for significant changes to laws and to the enforcement regimes in those countries. |

But the main reason for this (modchip)is price, the Wii cost around $400-$450 dollars in any dept store, you can find it for $350, still is a little overpriced, and to make the things worse, we have a poor gaming culture, is rare to see someone buy original games (This is the result of the PS and PS2 era + modchips), the same goes for the original xbox and the 360...
By me:
