We can have an idea of how next gen systems are performing through online retailers daily rankings. Casas Bahia, Siciliano and Saraiva are good places to take a look, since they have a daily Top50. Generally, for hardware X360>XOne/3DS>PS3>WiiU>Wii>PSP>PS2 (I've never seen PS4 and PSVita in the Top50).
X360 and PS3 software sales are far bigger than all the other, but DKC:TF (didn't lauch here yet) and SM3DW are selling well for WiiU and Bravely Default, Zelda ALBW and Pokemon X/Y have been the 3DS best selles for some time. XOne has Forza and Dead Rising doing well, but best sellers are Rayman, Assassin's Creed and FIFA. For PS4, the best exclusive seems to be KillZone, but, just like for XOne, best sellers are Rayman, Assassin's Creed and FIFA.
Keep in mind that it is just an estimative based on daily rankings from three of the biggest online retailers in Brazil and it DOES NOT INCLUDE GRAY MARKET.

That's not much different on how people go to amazon, best buy and gamestop to incorrectly estimate data.....
OT: Without any hard data, it's hard to gauge just how healthy, or unhealthy, the brazilian game market is.

I know it must be incorrect, just saying, since we have no hardware charts, that it might give an idea of how are sales. The last official numbers for hardware in Brazil are from May 2013, and there is no data from Nintendo consoles and handhelds. All they said is that there were 9,2mi X360 and 8,4mi PS3 players in Brazil. You can see it at http://olhardigital.uol.com.br/noticia/brasileiros-preferem-xbox-360-a-playstation-3/34659 MS also confirmed that they can manufacture around 17k consoles in Brazil per week some time ago. There is probably some interesting data at http://www.jogojusto.com.br/ but I have not searched.

Good deal. I have read that the PS3 got a huge price drop after Sony started manufacturing it in Brazil. 360 and XBO are somewhat affordable in Brazil because MS has been manufacturing it there for a long time. Sony is trying to get PS4s manufactured there for that reason as well. Nintendo could learn a lesson or two here.
