Globally? I wonder how much it will cost here in Brazil, the PS3 was an import here at launch, it was around 3.000 dollars, yes, three thousand dollars, five times the american price.

The brazillian official PS3 release is now about 600 dollars, so, roughlly 2,5 times the american price.
I expect the PS4 to be 3 times more expensive here at launch, so, around 1200 dollars, R$ 2400 (brazillian reais), that is way too much for me, maybe I can get an smuggled import for 800 dollars, we will see.

 

PS: Brazil has the higgest taxes in the world, and one of the highest levels of corruption, so, we pay enormous taxes and the government people use it in the wrong way all the time.

I read somewhere that Sony is making some factories in Brazil. If that is true, and they make PS4s in Brasil, they should cost a lot less there.
