I mean the Master System is still selling there. So sure why not.

The Master System we have here has 122 games and a 6 buttons controler, pretty weird.

Just think in 2076 get to finally play the Dreamcast! In all seriousness it actually makes me happy SEGA hardware still lives somwhere no matter the circumstance. They made some amazing games back in the day.

I know some people that used to play it some time ago, but only for nostalgia. Most gamers here just have either a PS3 or an Xbox 360 (Nintendo is virtually dead), but recently I think PS4 and XB1 are starting to take over as most stores and sites focus basically only on them (with other consoles having tiny or secondary sections).

But yeah, you are right about prices, althought things are getting better as you can (officially) find a PS4 for less than $500 (I know, it's still bad, but compared to launch, when it was like $1500, it's much better).

Man, that sucks. How is that still a thing over there? I don't know much about how trade/goods work in Brazil. But 1500 at launch!? Yeah, I'd be playing Golden Axe or something for sure.

Yeah, it was crazy. But not crazier than PS3's launch price: $3000!!

Anyway, Xbox One launched for $550, which is the reason why Microsoft is more popular in Brazil nowadays. Sony usually has some crazy price tags at launch. Thankfully, they're both cheaper these days (around the same price).

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

So when does the Saturn launch in Brazil? Or do Brazilians have to deal with the crummy 32X first?

Lol. Tec Toy has a deal with Sega Sammy. They have the rights to produce and sell the Genesis and the Master System. They hold no rights for the Dreamcast, Saturn, 32X, Sega CD or Game Gear.

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

Hmmm. With the continued success of the Master System and Genesis / Mega Drive re-releases over there, you'd think Tec Toy would be all over the rights to re-release something like the Dreamcast in Brazil.

I bet you these are expensive consoles to make, even with modern parts. I mean Saturn and Dreamcast. It probably would not be profitable for Tec Toy, their operation is pretty small, I mean, for a tech company.

Do we live in the same country?

Yes!

You're probably thinking Sony is more popular either due to the fact that PS4 is (apparently) selling more since last year or so, or the fact that the PS2 was utterly popular back in the day.
