Yes, I am from Ecuador...from Manabí specifically.
(But I'm actually high middle class economically here...I don't have that ugly way of speaking...) You can ask me anything you want about console sales. I also happen to live in Manabí's capital city, which kind of gives me a bonus point for information reliability on console sales here. But what you're going to hear isn't going to sound good. However, I think this is a bit off-topic and I'll make a topic about it tomorrow okay? For now I'm going to answer your particular questions.
First off, the Wii is the most popular and actually catters to non-gamers. The girlfriend of my uncle has a Wii and some games with it. I have a Wii. A friend of my best girl-friend has a Wii. A lot of people know about the Wii and many of my friends have been blown away by it when I invite them to play it. Unfortunately, it costs $450-$500 here. Then again, I haven't seen a Wii lately...perhaps they sell out quickly? Because the games they are selling for the Wii is actually increasing...they used to only have The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess but now they have many games, from Rayman Raving Rabbids, to Mario Party 8 and Red Steel; so I guess this is an indication that the Wiis are selling out before I know it.
The 360 is nowhere to be found. Games are hardly sold, and I haven't seen a single Xbox 360 in any place. It's not because they're sold out; it's because they don't sell it here. Same thing happened with the original Xbox. Nobody has heard about the 360 here. Don't call it dead though, since it never lived here in the first place. On the other hand, a couple weeks ago the (only) official (not so much, actually, sells pirated games also...might discuss this in my thread tomorrow) retailer in Portoviejo started selling a Xbox 360 game...yes, just one...and guess what it was...Pro Evolution Soccer 08. It's stupid, I know. Might cover this in more detail tomorrow.
Now the PS3...it's not being sold in my official retailer because it's too expensive. Not even a family as wealthy as mine (not that I'm wealthy actually...but most families with the same money as mine won't consider a PS3 for their average teenager/kid) will want to afford a PS3 for $1000 and the retailer knows it. You can only get it by actually ordering one. Now, there's another store in Portoviejo where they actually sell the PS3 (one?) but at $1000. That's too expensive, damn it. To top it off, I haven't seen a single PS3 game here in my city. My official retailer doesn't have games nor PS3s yet, but it's going to get some in the future.
That's it to answer your questions. Tomorrow, you can ask me about country-wide sales (not that I know much...but I've visited a number of stores in various important cities of Ecuador), and any other fact you want to know.
Fun fact: Wii games retail at $52 and PS3 games at $80 here. Handheld DS games retail at $42 and PSP games at $49
