I could have swore there was an interview about riggie bragging about entering the brazilian market and he took it as a chance to throw a cheap.shot at sony and ms and say how they always follow nintendo (saying they were gonna follow them.in brazil market too) i could he wrong, but if i am right then that was quite ironic

Also, please put more context in the op


You seem to be rather knowledgable about how often Nintendo brags. Care to write a thread about it?



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

It was already hard to find games here at the right prices.

The taxes on videogames and software are two times the ones on their PC counterparts due to poor regulamentation.

Fuck this stupid government. :(


Are you able to buy from ebay or import from other sites?

I'm really baffled why Nintendo can't/won't take on BRIC countries well. You would think that they'd have an advantage being a lower-priced competitor with solid portable option

That's strange to exit a huge market so quickly. I mean I know its a small console market, but it has a lot of potential.

BRIC countries aren't big gaming markets though. India and Brazil are small, and China has too many rules and regulations. The only country from those 4 which could potentially be a big market is Russia, but right now their economy isn't doing too well.

not worth it; they won't sell enough consoles due to the price point. the average citizen in Brazil is much poorer than certain other places in the world where the Wii U is struggling. probably on each system sold they are making virtually no money. it's pointless

True but Brazil is growing and changing and people are getting wealthier. In a few years Nintendo will have to return there.

I don't understand the Brazilian government's strategy. I mean, I know what they want, trying to force companies to manufacture there, but is it really feasible? Seems like they're just losing the business of many companies completely.

I remember that interview, He wasn't talking about just Brazil. He was referring to South America as a whole. If Nintendo were able to establish a market in some of the neighboring countries, that might make importing tp=o Brazil a little easier. But yes, the Brazillian government makes it nearly impossible for a thrving gaming market to exist there.

Maybe they will drop all of the struggling markets to control costs.

If M$ wasn't so loaded, they would be doing the same.



It is near the end of the end....
