It seems yes. People were really looking for PS4 because of XBOX politics in the beginning, but when the price tag was revealed a lot of people got angry and started to talk about boycott. There was no explanation for PS4 being 4,5x more expensive here, when the wii u, which is also imported, was just 2,7x (which unhappily is the normal factor because of taxes here). People started to consider Wii U around this time.
To be honest brazillians don't have a great history with Nintendo. PS2 ruled here in its time and xbox ruled for quite a while, although PS3 managed to regain some ground when it started being produced here. I just found out that my information on the beginning of the topic is old, xbox had 85% market share in 2011. It stills leads but ps3 had a big growth.
The good side is that there are still a lot of casuals here, who could be gathered by the wii effect, although games like wii fit and wii sports wouldn't have the same power here for cultural reasons.
