The same taxes are not stopping Microsoft and Sony from translating their games to our language (Portuguese) and selling their consoles cheaper than Nintendo ones in the official market. Nintendo never really took the Brazilian and the rest of Latin American market seriously. Even in their best times in Brazil, they only ollowed third party companies to sell their products here instead of having their own operation. During the 90s for example, you could buy a Genesis/Mega Drive for significantly less than a Snes. |
PS and Xbox platforms have a bigger hold in Brazil. It's just that simple. I did see quite a few Wii Us selling though, and some 3DS'. But i'm guessing those guys bought their stuff from abroad or imported it, I didn't check.
Never checked for official stores for consoles since when I went into fnac and saw the price of the PS4 and nearly spit out my soda.
Also Wii U isn't getting FIFA anymore so might as well give up hope. All is lost.
