As others have already mentioned, and apparently you've chosen to ignore, Microsoft makes the Xbox in Brazil, which means they don't pay import taxes.
Sony did not just decide they really want to fuck over Brazil.
No its not. Being very negative, with all the taxes and a very decent (high) profit margin, it would cost R$2500,00. The estimated price (still with all the taxes and profit) would cost about R$1800,00.
It is impossible to justify this price. They're stealing from us with a high and abusive price; just like everything else in Brasil that is hard to import and with a high demand!

Well, it's not like 1200$ for Xbone is super generous either... Of course 1800$ is even worse.No way in hell US$399 would go up to BR$3999 because of taxes. No way to spin this.
It IS Sony being greedy.
Ewwww. Sorry BrazilGAF. What are your other cheapest options? You could always wait it out for a price drop? Ps3 has life in it? There has to be a reason for exorbitant price yeah?

Also this is after Tretton said "we're gonna try and make the price as close as possible to the US price"
WELL GUESS WHAT IT'S PRETTY CLOSE TO 399 WE JUST ADDED ANOTHER DIGIT IT'S LIKE THE SAME NUMBER
As I've already said, and you and the others who keep spreading misinformation choose to ignore, Microsoft does not manufacture the Xbox One in Brazil, and will not do so in the foreseeable future.
It's not even a question of "there's no proof it isn't manufactured here". I work in the industry, and I can give you my word that it isn't.
Microsoft manufactures the Xbox 360 in Brazil. But Sony manufactures the PS3 in Brazil too.
Sony did just decide they really want to fuck Brazil over. Just like they did when they simply stopped publishing new content in the Brazilian PlayStation Blog because they fucking forgot to renew their contract with those responsible for updating it.

Are you serious in that last part? Omg... lol
I assume this is because there is too much tax evasion going on and the govt needs to increase consumption tax to make up for it?
I live in florida and I see brazilians shopping here all the time.

GOD DAMN! I knew prices where high for electronic devices in Brazil, but this is ridiculous. At first, I though of this as a joke, but I really think you guys should come to Chile to buy the damn console, jeez!.
And I was all over PS4, but now, SONY can fuck in hell, MS you have my sword.
Already did that. Unsucessfull search. =(
We are going in circles.
There's nothing confirmin that the Xbone is goig to be manufactored in Brazil.
As far as we know it's beeing imported too.
I believe Massa will sell PS4s on Mercado Livre for HUGE profits.
I intend to do something similar. I'll get some PS4s from the US for U$399 each and then resell it here for ~R$1,500.
The buyer will be happy, and I'll be even happier.

R$ 4.000
Take that, rest of the world.

Sony ordered all of their PR representatives in Brazil to block their Facebook accounts and turn off their phones so we can't reach them.
My God.

Well in Manaos they are making PS3, I wonder if they'll do 4 tooWhere did you get that information from?
And I'm very confident they don't since I actually live here.You're welcome to believe that if you wish, but I'm very confident there are laws and policies your government has passed that explain all of that.

Your avatar says otherwise. lol
Anyway, If you really are all over the PS4, just import one.
I can garantee you that's what 90% is going to do.
I'd imagine that the type of Brazilian that can afford to fly up to the States to do casual shopping probably isn't being driven by cheaper prices in the states. The whole "flying to another continent just to go shopping" thing negates that idea imo.
I understand that you're angry, and I am too. But it's too early to jump to this conclusion. Also, that claim doesn't make sense. Sony, as any other company, wants money. If that absurd price tag was their free choice (id est, without a third party interference), they only people that they would be screwing are themselves, since they won't be selling much consoles over here.
And before you quote me, I don't know what (or who) that third party could be. But considering the scenario we're dealing with, it would be fair to assume that this "external influence" over the price tag exists.

Care to explain why?my favorite story about brazil is how the real became its currency
Holy crap...that's insane. WTF they are thinking?!
Now it's pretty clear, Sony BR is still the old Sony.
Care to explain why?
And for the millionth time, why is the Xbone half the price then? It's not going to be manufactured here, it's going to be imported just like the PS4.I understand that you're angry, and I am too.

Common sense right here.
If they were just greedy why not charge crazy high prices in the wealthiest nation on earth, the U.S? Then drop the price 2 months later.
