JPEG So basically people that live there, their salary goes to buying a console.

shame.


this is for those who earn a good salary. Here in Brazil 60% of the population receives a salary of R$700 or $350 per month NOT PER WEEK.
this and the result of 30, 40 years of straight corruption

Crazy to think that in order for them to buy a PS4 they would have to put 10% of the yearly salary into it.

I'm guessing Sony will lower the price though.

For all you people who keep complaining about how Sony is ripping them off it is not Sony's decision the Argentina government is doing that since they're are doing terrible with the economy and have very little money
