*Wiiu not launched officially in Brazil in october(!)

Last month(September): http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=170873

This month i don't find any data regarding how was october for gaming in brasil. It take ore time that i expected to release the charts too, strange.

Some of you can be wondering why the rank have so much old games, but in brasil a price set a major role when choosing a game. its really hard to find any new game heere selling below $50. Have in mind that our minimun wage is about $330, and the average person have a wage off $1000. So, when a new game of series launch, generally the previous version gets cheaper, and so sells more. This is why rayman origins charted in wii in september(rayman legends), and arkhan asylum showed in 360 on octuber(arkhan origins).

So why PS3 have somewhat more recent releases? Well, there i'm not sure, but i have a theory. PS3 over here is expensive and have no casual appeal(you can find a lot of kinect+360 bundles over here), and is more expensive. So the public of the console are more whiilign to expend money on games, so they actually buy game for themselves, not for their childs.

Well, its all for today. In november we saw the release of PS4, X1 and WiiU over here, so next month will be very interessing...
