I never said you were rich.I said that you probably belonged to the richer part of the society.There is a big, even if subtle, difference there.But that still dosent change the fact that videogames in general are a luxury.Sure you can save and buy your PS4, Wii U and what not, but you only do that because you put value on it.For a family that has only casual gamers, its still a big investment to put down the equivalent of 300 dollars plus all the games, acessories and everything else on something that is not necessary to survive or you dont fully enjoy, especially when you dont have much money to waste.And that would be especially true to VR devises, that has the equivalent of at least of 800 dollars of investment to use!If thats already expensive for a country such as US or a continent such as Europe, imagine for a country with much lower purchase power as Mexico.
I dont know where you got your data about the Xbox, but you cant just "adapt" in the sense you are implying.You cant just lower a system that costs $250 to make and lower to lets say $150 to the mexican matket and have profit with it.I mean, that beyond obvious.Products have their prices for a reason and the production costs(and shipments) dont magically lower when you move to a different country.I cant even believe i need to sau this.
And im not saying (nor the other guy) that VR cant sell there.Its just going to sell wayyyyy less than in the bigger markets.And not trying to piss on Mexico, thats simply how things are.

Yes, you can adapt, for example Microsoft have factories in Mexico and Brazil so it's way cheaper to buy an Xbox One (made in Mexico) than a PS4 (made in China), XBox One is relatively cheap here. And I'm not saying that we're going to buy more PSVR systems than in the US, it's impossible but that doesn't mean that we're not a good market for them.

So a 2200 reais console is cheaper than a 350 dollars console?Where the hell are you taking this from?Even if you convert dollars in reais and vice versa, its still more expensive, and when speaking about economics, thats wrong to do!The only place videogames are cheaper or more acessible in third world countries is, with respect, in your head.
