Wii U costs over $1k in Brazil

We pay for that price to sustain these political bastards

A great part of brazillians gamers would – centainly – pay for the consoles and games if the price was not so outrageos. I think it´s about time that the companys (instead of launch jokes like SODA, PIPA and etecetera), push firmely into our taxes and prices and put it to the risk: “We won´t sell you this if the price gets so high”. Afterwall it´s destroyng the image, marketing and digital social relationships of various companys in this process!

I am Brazilian and I think this country crap, Brazilians thinks only football, carnival and beer nothing else .. Here the cops are afraid of the bad guy is worse than crime in Mexico.

Taxes are just part of the problem, and not the biggest part. We have here the thing we call “brazilian profit”. The things are expensive because they sell this way, people keep buying and they achieve great profit. A great example is found in cars market. The Honda City, made here in Brazil, is sold in Mexico by a lower price then here. It costs there something like US$ 15k, and, in Brazil, US$ 27k. Made here and exported to Mexico. Last year, GM did not bankrupt because of the profits they had here in Brazil. So, we buyers who pay these absurd prices, have great responsibility for this crazy prices.

Because of the high taxes in Brazil the software piracy and smugling of the consoles (from Paraguay boarder) dominates 99% of the games market, and nintendo and sony don´t have voice in our economy to change that!

I live in this country of shit, and if you think a video game here expensive, try paying all taxes, which this year already exceeded one trillion reais (800 billion dollars) and not having anything in exchange for this benefit ! People are dying for negligence and corruption! I’m ashamed to be Brazilian!

Brazil make gamer’s suffer .

Yeah the ammount of tax consoles/games have to pay is ridiculous. Be f* glad you don’t live in brazil and like gaming. Seriously. It’s one of the worst places in the fuckin world to like games. US should throw an atomic bomb here so we could start over.

Brazilian people don’t fight for shit. All we care about is having a beer on weekends carnival, and soccer. People have no respect for other people whatsoever.

Be f* glad for living in your country. Always complain. Your goverment works for you, you pay them to work. So you are entitled to complain, don’t be afraid of it!

You are amazed with the price of the Wii U here in Brazil …I am ashamed to live here where taxes are among the highest in the world. …Now if you know that the minimum price of a Camaro SS 2013 costs 200 k (R$ 203,000) here in Brazil, Oh yes you would be amazed! Brazil is a shit ¬¬

Yeah, every little thing here is way to expensive… even the playstation 3 here costs around R$ 800, is just outrageous, but, what can we do? If we want it, we just buy it, even with the costs up high.

Welcome to Brazil friend, in my country is expensive lot of products, we are a rich country because to have something, we have that pay more.

Well. I see a lot of Brazilians commenting and screaming here, but, if we just talk and don’t do shit this reallity will NEVER end. Everybody don’t fight for their causes, so, let’s make a group of everybody who wants to fight and do something.
And yes Kevin, unfortunately import is our best option, and IF we’re lucky we don’t pay the taxes, but, the brazilian customs are not that good. The government tries to protect a market that doesn’t exist here and we all suffer. Shit, but, if we want we pay, or fight. As you can see everybody prefers the first option.
