I think it has been available in the grey market at R$ 1200 (~$520 US dollars) at most, for quite some time.

"According to Fils-Aime, Brazil's manufacturing industry lacks the technical capabilities to produce a Nintendo game system."

That's an import.

Nintendo is still salty about all the NES clones produced and sold in Brazil.

Sooo, Sony back to being greedy liars?

No, just unlucky.

It would be best to get the exchange rate when the price was announced, but I only care so much =P

After I saw what Bieber paid for a hooker I'm not suprised. Living in Brazil must be a nightmare.

Seriously?

Just stop while you're ahead.

 

[The Hermit]

LOL!!

I found a Zelda bundle uesterday for 1300 reais and dad bought one from US last week for 650.

Well, I can hardly wait to get eShop officially represented here. While buying retail games digitally is a classic case of YMMV, the price tag for download-only titles usually is good for Brazilian players.

 

[oconnomiyaki]

as a mexican, I'm really glad that all I have to do to go to Texas is take my car and drive about 4 hours.

McAllen and Laredo takes all my videogame moneys.

As a New Zealander... fuck...

Mind you, no one actually buys a Wii U for RRP here. (NZ$599, for the record. A PS4 is NZ$649. Nintendo of Australia are insane and the machine is going to get murdered here.) You can get a premium Wii U with NSMB:U from The Warehouse for NZ$399 on a regular basis because they're trying to clear the stock.

Looks like I'll be shopping exclusively at EB Games and JB HiFi along with heavily importing.

How are they unlucky? what tax do they have that neither Nintendo nor MS have?

 

[jwhit28]

Is there any data showing that these ridiculous prices actually lead to companies bringing production to Brazil?

 

[Smellycat]

Sounds about right

 

[flippedb]

Next-gen tax.

Well, it's the only country other than China where they're building them.

 

[Platy]

And suddenly I am very happy because a friend is going to move to Canada =P

Also, the change in price for the ps4 just means that the ps4 is probably bigger and heavier than the WiiU
