Bullshit article? What world did you live?

This is one [if not the most] reliable newspaper in Brasil... stop to talk about things you don't know.

And yes they are right because if Sony istead to release the console here makes some deals to import in the normal way the console should cost less than Xbone... now with it released here the import taxes almost up 100%.

You are talking bullshit.

A lot of companies instead to release the product here advise the consumers to import in the legal terms.

lol

BTW Sony is buying elsewhere... so why not advise the consumers to do the same.

Quote for the others read: "Dana also says he doesn't understand why Sony, instead of launching the PS4 in Brazil R $ 3,999, didn't stimulate buying in other countries or even other sites. "It should be almost half the original price and comparable to the value of Xbox One [R $ 2,199]," he says."

FACT

But I understand what you have bolded, if Sony want to be competative they need to make it locally, but I can see why they dont want to, its extra cost/resources when you can ship it in. Brazil taxes are crazy, and it's unfortunate that they do it. Of course for people locally it must be horrible that you cannot buy stuff imported without paying large amounts of tax as thats depressing :(

I guessed you can because "Went last year and really enjoyed it"... sorry I did for the confusion.

They say the consumer have nothing to do with the fact that Sony Brasil can't deal with goverment... it is Sony Brasil fault... MS instead make a better deal with the goverment... so that reflect the difference between prices.

"It seems that Microsoft has done the homework study tax more efficiently [than Sony]."

Another issue is that just because now the PS4 is officially here the taxes for import almost double... if Sony didn't release the console here the tax for import will be way less (I'm talking about Consumer import).

No worries :) Went to the show as a customer/exhibitor on one of the stands, so it was pretty cool. Place needs to be bigger though, not a lot of room, but apparently its grown in size quite a lot from the previous years (not sure about this year though).

I hope Sony sort it out, but sometimes companies need to hold their hand a little to force change. I do feel sorry for you guys having to pay large taxes on items.

The price calculation is petty much correct. They used a 25% state tax rate where I think most states are around the 18% range. The whole thing is geared towards making gamers, and people in general, angry against the horrible taxing laws in Brazil (which change almost on a weekly basis depending on your insider contacts it seems). Sony is fully aware that they won't sell more than "a few for the rich" consoles. They have every interest in getting people angry against the government because they import a lot more than consoles at crazy tax rates. Lower taxes due to public pressure would significantly increase business chances for Sony (and any other electronics manufacturer). I'm pretty sure Sony has already made the plans to assemble the PS4 at their PS3 plant in Manaus (if not there's a guy to be fired instantly). However, starting end assembly in a foreign territory is not something you start from day zero with brand new stuff, first you find out the quirks that happen at your regular plants.

It's not correct. X1 will be cheaper here in Brasil and MS have to pay the same taxes
