Are there tariffs or something in place in Brazil, or is that common in South America? |
I don't know about other countries, but Argentina and Brazil have a lot of tax. The PS4 launched for 1800-2100US$ on Brazil, over 1000-1200US$ on Argentina, if I remember well.
Argentina had problems with the government of Cristina Kirchner, and Brazil had problems with the corruption of the country's biggest company, which had over half of the congress and over half of the senate involved.
The Oil price drop + the increase in the price of the US$ WW + the corruption of the countries make it difficult to purchase consoles.
