And thats healthy?Having to spend way more than your monthly income to buy a console?You can finance and get yourself in debt all you want, but thats right there is the definition of a market that is not healthy(the part that, you know, have to get in debt to be able to afford just the console).And Brazil dont sell enough consoles games to be considered a big market, but thats beyond obvious.

Do you consider UK(3+countries) a big Market? It have months were software sales are pretty sad. Here, consoles sell more software than PC, A lot of games sold more than 30-50K in a year. A country where  people purchase more imported products than national produced ones, the best selling national produced console sold more than 5 Millions units. After nearly 3 years in the generation, there isn't any country, with exception of the USA, where the Xbox One or the PS4 sold more than 5 Millions, majority is under 4.

So, is a market small when the "official" best selling console, on that market, wasn't outsold after 3 years of generation by other "big" countries ? I'm sure that atleast the Xbox 360 and PS2 sold on par, or even more, on the country, than that. 

Of course UK is a big market.Its not as big as US or Japan, but it is a big market.Its the se ond biggest market for Xbox if im not mistaken.And those examples you give are horrible, if not totally irrelevant to the point.Selling 30-50 k a year is alot?In a day and age that games like FF XV needs to sell 10 millions?In a day and age that duch games can do that number in a week in the bigger markets, and it dosent even need to be the launch week or launch month?Just accept it:all facts points to the fact that Brazil, Mexico, Chile, South Africa, etc etc are not big markets, they are small markets, BUT are not small enough to be ignored and more than justifies invesent in them, as long as its not high.

And I wont even comment how out of place is to compared a console that has already lived through its whole life(Im assuming those 5 million units sold come from the PS2) with one that probably didnt even pass half its life and use it as a defining argument.
