According to Gfk the video game market in Brazil earned more than the UK, Germany or Spain in 2013. The growth was of 43% from 2011 to 2012 and 25% from 2012 to 2013. |
I really don´t want to start an argument, but I do believe those numbers are quite questionable, because in Brazil the mobile games market is included in that sum, while in UK, German and Spain consoles are counted as a separete market from mobile gaming.
Anyway, to the topic.
I couldn´t attend the event. It really pissed me off, because I work on Fridays and I had some appointments on Saturday, but everyone talked about it as an excellent showcase.
People really seems to be interested in WiiU right now in Brazil, it´s starting to get some space on shops, but Gaming do Brasil (who represens Nintendo here) could do a better job when pricing the device. An imported WiiU can be easily found by BRL $ 1.300 (Deluxe bundle, with Nintendoland or NSMBU+NSLU). $ 1.899 seems a little pricey, but still cheaper than Xbox1.
Geek.etc is a well known shop on Avenida Paulista. The new WiiU Mario game was flying off their shelves this week.
