I'm always surprised when I see old consoles like XBOX 360 and PS3 still selling this far into their life cycles. I'm like, "who didn't own these things for the past 10 years?"


In 3rd world countries the PS3 and 360 are still expensive and only now are approaching an affordable price. PS4 and X1 are insanely expensive.

Everytime I saw and American complaining about the 500 bucks X1, I laughed. I paid that for my PS3 in 2011. And almost the double for my PS4. A DS4 costs 130 dollars on Brazil. And don't even ask about 3DS and Vita because portables sell way less here and are even more overpriced.

That explains why PS3 is outselling the 360 handily now. The main markets for 360 are US and UK, both early adopters. PS3 is stronger in the RoW, EU (that has big markets that are early adopters but others like the EU East are more late) and even Japan is a little more conservative when migrating gens.


Brasileiro aqui também, legal , mas vou escrever em inglês em respeito aos gringos do forum

 

Well, i own a ps3 right now and i buy only digital , i want to upgrade next year, but ps4 still way overpriced and while xbone hás a more reasonable price in Brasil, im a PS guy . I can look at grey market options for ps4, but since i had a RROD experience with 360 i think twice before purchasing in grey market ever again. I think here in Brasil duo to circunstances The Xbox one is The best option...

 

With The price of The oficial ps4 I can buy an oficial xone and a new TV .

And there are those yearly games like FIFA, pés and COD that are going to sell loads around here anyway.
