That's just wrong!

lol, the way you're saying it that is. ''even'' Brazil?

Brazil is a big market nowadays and will only continue to grow.

If it is coming to South Africa, India & the Middle East then a Japan 2013 launch is almost assured

The Middle east also has a huge huge huge huge gaming community. Majority are Playstation users. 


I can personally attest to this.

Can you speak to genres or series that are popular in the middle east? What would be a big system seller there?

Good idea, they have 1.200.000.000 people, if they achieve 1% penetration that´s 12 million consoles =D



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Resident Evil, Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo oh yeah Fifa too, out of my head, are huge in Iraq and Saudia Arabia from my personal knowledge. Some don't even know Final Fantasy is not a Sony game lol :D

RPGs and JRPGs are huge in general there.

GTA was also big. I dunno if it still is though.

Sony is having a good mass production response... they expect to reach 1 million units producted per month in September.

I've heard from multiple people that Sony has just begun production for ps4.  Have you or anyone else heard this?  They have to be gearing for a massive launch.

Skip to 5:20 mark after watching the first 10 seconds. Then skip to 21:30. 

This is just one event in one city. Gives you an idea of the numbers of people who are willing to turn up to a gaming convention (around 50,000). Like i said, HUGE.
