Who will pre-order a console for US$ 995 here in Brazil ?

Sony should send the brazilian consoles to paraguay, where I can buy them with lower taxes.

Who? Let me tell you a secret about Brazil: there are tons of rich people here, this is the most fucked country in the world, there are people eating lobsters in big yatchs in Angra dos Reis, and children starving in favelas half a mile away from the rich people marina.

We are a 180 million people country with the 7th biggest economy in the world, and people still die of starvation while some others drive around in Ferraris.

If they open the pre-orders, I garantee you they would have at least 100K consoles sold untill launch.

I know all of that because I'm brazilian.

The number of people who can afford PS4one at launch here is very small.  Sony wouldn't be wrong to prioritize other markets over Brazil if that means more consoles for countries where people have means to buy it.

I could buy the console at launch even at this ridiculous US$ 995 price(Xbone).  But I won't do so because  78% of taxes on imported goods is a steal.
