You're joking right? Consoles cost a fortune in Brazil. |
I'm not kidding. It has been reported that the Brazilian market is the world's fourth (use a translator): http://oglobo.globo.com/tecnologia/brasil-ja-tem-mercado-de-games-maior-do-que-reino-unido-alemanha-espanha-10529533
The information is not as accurate as it puts France above the United Kingdom, but it is a reference to the colossal size of the Brazilian market.
Not only video game we paid a fortune, everything here is much more expensive. We are not accustomed to paying only the most expensive video games, but cars, clothes, perfumes, any technology product, etc.. The average Brazilian income has risen and we live in an absurd consumerism. In fact, Brazil inflates the numbers, especially of the U.S., Mexico and other countries, because our consoles and games are in big part imported illegally from there. Remember the Master System and Mega Drive? So they were selling on average (combined) 150 000 per year (http://jogos.uol.com.br/ultimas-noticias/2012/07/30/vinte-anos-depois-master-system-e-mega-drive-vendem-150-mil-unidades-por-ano-no-brasil.htm). And they do not sell anywhere close to the new generation consoles.
Fanatismo não leva a nada, apenas a colecionar antipatias.
