Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo's Unbeatable Level: Brazil

Dr.EisDrachenJaeger on 25 October 2013

The issue with manufacturing in Brazil over where they do it is because Nintendo's hardware is very different from Sony's and MS's

"For example, Brazil is the most expensive country in the world to buy an iPhone 5 at 2,299 real ($1,045), according to Bloomberg Rankings."

*looks at list*

>Iceland nowhere to be seen

Actual price of an iPhone 5 here was $1,084 before the 5S/C announcement. The 5S costs $1337. No, that is not a typo.

Do you have an Apple store in Iceland?

The high duties in Brazil don't exist to discourage global tech companies from selling their products there. The fees are designed to encourage local fabrication.


Objection!

No official one, no. We used to have a store called The Apple Store ("Apple búðin" in Icelandic), but Apple sued so they had to change their name xD. We don't even have 4G here yet for Apple devices (but we do for Samsung and others), because Apple doesn't care about us ;(. Despite all that, Apple is huge here. Like every other person has an iphone it seems. Surprisingly many have Macs as well

well, they made this list with prices in official apple stores, your country can't be in the list then

Sony consoles make much more success in Brasil than Nintendo ones. Combined with the fact that in the NES/SNES days SEGA won over the market, it's easy to see why it's hard for Nintendo to create a following in Brazil, since it never had one to begin with.


Dude, where did you get this information from? 

No way in hell Sega dominated the market in Brazil during the NES/SNES era. Maybe there was not a lot of actual NES consoles in the households, but almost everyone in Brazil who liked Video Games at that time had one of those NES clones (Phantom System, Bit System, etc) to play the amazing NES library. Therefore the market was most certainly dominated by Nintendo.  As for the SNES, there was this game called "International Super Star Soccer" by Konami  wich was exclusive to the SNES that simply took over Brazil. 

I checked your profile and saw that you are too young to remenber  all that.
