Costa Rica

Gaming isn't a big thing here, anything that's not COD, FIFA or GTA doesn't really sell very well (if not at all), Nintendo is decently popular here though, which is somewhat strange if you compare to other countries, but Sony takes the majority of the market with MS taking the 3rd place. 

During the 7th gen, the Wii took a huge lead until the last few years of the gen when the PS3 (when it finally reached a good price) was probably the highest selling console here (this is purely my perspective, as far as I know, there are no sales numbers for Costa Rica). The 360 was very popular at the beginning of the gen, but it fell off later quickly.

For the current gen, MS 'suffers' a lot here (quotations because Costa Rica is such a small market that I highly doubt MS cares) I honestly only know 2 people that own an Xbox One, while a lot own a PS4 or Wii U (in some cases both). And 3DS is strangely very very popular here, a few years ago I barely saw anyone with a 3DS on the street, but recently it has become quite a common site.

PC is also very popular because well...piracy. Seriously, no Latin America country is safe from huge piracy. 

 Costa Rica here as well and I agree.

 Most people I know are casual gamers, people who only buy COD, PES or FIFA.

 Nintendo has a strong following, mostly with the 3DS, wiiu not so much.

Just out of curiosity, I know a good amount of people with PS3s/360s, and when talking to them, most of them are either thinking about selling theirs, or not moving to PS4/One.
