How do people like digital games in those countries? The low price will obviously be appealing but I'm not sure what their infrastructure and isp services are like for a digital only console.

At least when it comes to speed, pretty much half of the courtiers listed are above 30Mbps, which I'd call accaptable for all digital console and around 75% above recommended 9Mbps for game streaming. However, there's a question of accessibility per capita and potential data caps. 

We could extrapolate the broadband access from this data and combine it with the average speed: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/IT.NET.BBND

For example:
Brazil - 36M fixed broadband subscribers, average speed of 78Mbps 
Argentina - 9M, 37Mbps
India- 22M, 46Mbps
Mexico - 21M, 35Mbps
Vietnam - 16M, 64Mbps

I'm going to massively oversimplify, but if (let's say) one in ten of those subscribers would be intersted in a gaming console, that's over 10M potential customers in those 5 countries.
