From what I understand, getting new consoles at a resonable price is borderline impossible over there. They still play the Sega Master System over there and it still sells fairly well for the time period. I don't know the exact specifics why but this is the jist of it. 

I know some people that used to play it some time ago, but only for nostalgia. Most gamers here just have either a PS3 or an Xbox 360 (Nintendo is virtually dead), but recently I think PS4 and XB1 are starting to take over as most stores and sites focus basically only on them (with other consoles having tiny or secondary sections).

But yeah, you are right about prices, althought things are getting better as you can (officially) find a PS4 for less than $500 (I know, it's still bad, but compared to launch, when it was like $1500, it's much better).

That's interesting to hear

 

In the middle east it is very similar. however, I'm slowly starting to see people own a GBA/rooted DS. otherwise most people don't even own a console. they just go to Internet areas and play on a playstation/xbox at a rate of $1.5/hr.

 

As of now the PS4 is approximately $700+ alone. heck, the galaxy s6 is still in the high 700's as well. I feel bad for middle income/developed regions since products are so damn expensive. Fortunately they can still afford cheap consoles
