| ghettoglamour said: Well it looks like the Xbone in my country is the 3rd most expensive in the world. On the other hand, we have rather high salaries. My salary is slightly above average at best and the Xbone would cost me roughly 12-15% of a monthly income after taxes. (Not that I'm buying one though). What does an average brazilian earn? |
Well, in 2011 the average salary here (Brazil) was R$ 1.792,61 (U$ 797/month, nowadays) and the minimum wage today is R$ 678 (U$ 304/month):
Xbox One: R$ 2200 (U$ 979) = 122% of our average salary... or 324% of our minimum wage.
The games are also very expensive, so you can see why Brazil is not a huge market yet. It's not that we don't like playing, 'cause we love it. Basically, most people just can't afford it.
