That's because Brazilians pirate console games at an extremely high rate. They need to make a big profit off the consoles themselves because they ain't getting it off of licensing fees for games sold.

Wrong, the console that is pirated the most is the xbox360 and the xbox1 is still cheaper.
The problem is that the ps3 is now produced here and has a price of R$1,100 (which is ridiculous btw), sony is just scared that selling the ps4 for it's right price may affect the sales of the ps3.

Nope, the Xbox price is around what you would expect. A barebone Toyota Corolla costs USD30k and I don't see anyone pirating cars.
I suppose the PS4 is priced like that because availability at launch will be so low, that they'll cash in on whoever is ingenious enough to buy on traditional retailers and leave the rest to the grey market.

My fat PS3 just YOLD for the 3rd time, the two previous time I fixed it with a heat gun but this time, it is gone for good. The reflow only brought my fat PS3 back to life for about 20 mins.
So I bought a new PS3 super slim because I have two games in my library that I really want to play :TLOU and Nino Kuni.
All in all, I am gonna wait for like 6 months before I buy a PS4 (Initially I want to buy it a week or two after its launch)and I am happy that I bought a new PS3, just these two titles alone worth the price.
PS4 is not officially sold in Vietnam but given the close proximity to HongKong and Singapore, I will probably need to pay $100 more than the official price to buy it here.
What do you guy think about my decison? I think its worth it still to buy a PS3 at this point since there will be good release for PS3 for at least another year or so.
|
It's still very much worth it to buy a PS3 since there are still a number of good titles lined up for it. For me, I'm still waiting for that one game that makes buying a PS4 worth it.

Still no idea what to buy for launch title. Watch Dogs seemed the most interesting to me, but well since that got delayed...
So what's left regarding retail titles?
Assassins Creed IV
Battlefield 4
Call of Duty: Ghosts
FIFA 14
Injustice
Just Dance 2014
Killzone Shadow Fall
Knack
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
Madden 25
NBA 2K14
NBA Live 14
Need For Speed Rivals
Skylanders Swap Force
Nothing I really want. The best option left for me would be Killzone, but not too hyped about that, even though I liked KZ3. I mostly play adventure, action or RPG games. Assassin's Creed would be alright, but I didn't even finish the second one and never played the third one.
Seems I don't really have any games at launch, so I'm even starting to consider just selling the console on ebay for a premium and wait until some interesting titles get released.

God damn, all of those games are just so disinteresting for me lol. Christ, I really don't need a next gen console atm. Thanks for putting it into perspective PandaCore. Only games I would enjoy would be fifa 14 and madden 25 but they are never worth the price.

Everything in Brazil is unreasonably expensive, not just consoles. Piracy is a consequence, not the cause.

I'm getting an Xbox One at launch, but PS4 when Infamous comes out. I think you can bank on KillZone being good. It's arguably Sony's flagship launch-title. I didn't like KZ3 much either, but this one seems to fix a lot of the problems with the earlier entries and it finally has some color in it! If you're into sports then any of the sports titles would be a good bet, with an emphasis on NBA 2K14. It has a completely new engine and runs 1080p/60fps. As for the others, I'd wait till reviews come out and then choose based on that. Keep in mind you'll be getting both Resogun and contrast for free with PS Plus.

Heads up to anyone who pre-ordered through Blockbuster. They have entered Administration once again. Also Wal-Mart is giving out the pre-orders two days in advance.

If nothing interests you in the lineup wait then.
Console gaming has always been more or less about blockbusters like AC4, CoD, KZ etc. So if these big names have no interest for you and you are waiting for the little gem or the exclusive that will kill it, there is no point to take it at launch. The two big names of Sony exclusives (Santa Monica and Naughty Dog) both won't release anything soon anyway due to having released a game for the PS3 this year.
And early 2014 there is Dark Souls 2 to keep you busy on current generation console.
You'll even avoid the hassle of shortages and technical issues of the first batch. And by the time you buy it the games you are mildly interested in will have a cheaper price.
I'll see how it goes and what's available by Q1 2014 personally. In launch line up only AC4 and KZ interest me.

I pre-purchased AC4 because if I pre-ordered 3 games, it was like 30-40% off? So I will have AC4 at launch but I don't think I'll grab PS4 until later on. I don't like all the line ups and what not. I did preorder Witcher 3 too which means I will have to get the console by then... and the last one is Titan fall on PC... which I didn't even upgrade my video card yet... I highly doubt 560Ti can handle. Anyways, no exciting games on release date, I don't even know why I even pre-purchased AC4... I'm just avidly waiting for DS2. Can't wait to see all the players with no dark/demon soul experience QQ for being how hard it is lol.
|
Hmm just can't get hyped for those games. Might just upgrade PC for about the same money.
|
Still not decided on a launch title, but saw that even now PS4s sell on ebay for 500€+
I'll probably give in and keep my preorder though -.-
|
Just a heads up to start planning your paychecks as it is less than two weeks to launch, especially Amazon preorders!

Design looks really clean. Hopefully it can stay cool.

Brace yourselves
