Vou ter que postar em inglês apartir de agora

Yeah... it is better because not everyone understands Portuguese.

I could sort of make it out based on the broken Spanish I know...

I always visit this forum but never post, so now I decided ummmmmmm..... that's all I got...

so why are they so expensive there?

Taxes but the Wii U is at the right price... PS4 price is Sony Brasil trying to make us ******.

Yes the Wii U price is high, but it makes sense in Brasil because of the higher taxes, so right now is...

Wii U Bundle 300 U$ => 1899 R$

Xbox One 500 U$ => 2199 R$

PS4 U$ => 3999 R$

There is something fishy with the PS4 price.

I get import-taxes, they are there to protect your own country´s industry (the EU is infamous for them)
...but why do the brazilians have to pay out the ass to get their video game consoles ?

Or is it just greed ?

Taxes are indeed mean around here, but I can say it is usually most greed.

I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.

The NX will be a 900p machine

Is there a workaround those console prices ethomaz? (aka. bringing a used one for a neighbor country)

Yes, traffic.

Here in brazil no one face the problems or fix it, we aways find a way, a workaround. Its called "jeitinho brasileiro". We don't fix, just avoid the problems, even if its illegal.

"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
