Nintendo sends to the stores, like sony is doing to ps4, they offer 12 months warranty from manufactor, the only "official" is xbone, cuz its being manufactured here, so does you mean ps4 costing 4000 reais in the stores are not official? cuz they are imported by the stores too, its not manufactured here

 

 PS: Even without the discount, paying full price (1900 reais) its still 2100 reais cheaper than ps4, while they only have 100USD of difference, it shouldn't cost more than 2200 reais here, that's why i'm upset with sony, with all that talk they would try to bring ps4 for less than 1000 reais, then BOOM, its costing 4x more.

Ok.

I will explain to you.

Before November: Wii U sold here was not official by Nintendo... the stores imported by themselves... so the price was below R$1500 and in some place close to R$1000.

After November: Wii U is now official by Nintendo (imported)... R$1900 with some deals to R$1800 or R$1700... the others Wii U in stores below R$1500 are stocks from the non-official importer (not Nintendo).

The non-official Wii U didn't have 12 months warranty but only what the store give to you (3-6 months).

I will use a non-official importer (Sony) to buy my PS4 like the Wii U was sold here before November... ~$2200.

Edit

This is the official Wii U (imported by Nintendo) here: http://www.submarino.com.br/produto/116575113/console-wii-u-black-deluxe-32-gb-game-new-super-mario-bros-u-e-new-super-luigi-gamepad


i guess you misunderstood, the stores i listed weren't selling wii u consoles before november, just some wii u games from ubisoft,warner etc.

 

 submarino,saraiva,extra,ricardo eletro opened their pre-order after nintendo's announcement, and you could buy with 20% of discount paying in cash, that's why you could buy for 1500 reais, and it's official, cuz it says 12 months of warranty from manufactor, and the distributor is gamingofbrazil, i've bought one to my lil cousin for 1574 reais, i just gotta wait til 26 november to pick up, unfortunately i can't do this with ps4, it's so expensive, and i don't trust buying a sony console in the gray market, the first wave they send to the stores always presents failures, ps1 with driver problem,ps2 and ps3 dying for overheating,there're some cases of ps4 dying with a hdmi problem.

 i'll wait and hope they change their mind, otherwise i'll replace it with a pc.
