Well, I'm a bullheaded Sony fan so I didn't even thought about picking X360, even more when GT5 prologue already released when I started working in 2009. And sure some part of relatives had x360 because of pirates and most friends had both systems because they liked FPS (Gears and Halo main culprits) and liked PS1 and PS2. Myself never being interested in FPS saw not much value in X360.

To get you an idea, Master System sold better than NES in Brazil. MS and MD had even more exclusives that used the base of other games, like Wonderboy or something like that became base for Monica and Chapolin games.

I wanted the PS3 more, but it was more expensive and yeah, piracy was still playing a hand.

I ended up holding until I could get the PS3 and all games I wanted for reasonable prices, the games where clearly always a no contest, but the feels like LoD Lost Odyssey really made me consider xD, but I knew I couldnt get a PS3 if I picked it.

About the MS, if I remember well it sold better here than the whole RoW combined (NA, EU, JP), Brazil was the actual reason the system got some relevancy nowdays, and I sure loved mine. Even damn Senna was holding Sonic trophies after winning a gp, Sega and TecToy were the shit here back in the day, and that made Sega downfall hurst us even more... XC

Yes, I was a Sega fanboy at that time. And Senna's Monaco GP was a true great game. I wouldn't doubt MS here doing better than most places.

About PS3, my girlfriend (now wife) had a travel to Canada and brought me a PS3, around 8-10 games and a guitar hero world tour bundle with guitar and drumm for all with 3 years of international warranty for something like 500-700 canadian that was not more than 2000 reais. I don't remember the value right, but it was a lot less than what would cost in Brazil, perhaps it was closer to 1 thousand.
