And it's a whooping 4000 reais, with games going for 280 reais. Holy shit, am I not getting a new console anytime soon. It's cool though, I'm still in 1995, so I'll just plug my old SNES on my old wood grain TV and play some Mario World. Anybody wanna go 2 players?

How much of that is tax and how much is "Screw You Hue Hue Hue?"

SMW is one of the greatest games ever made.

it's like they want Brazilians to import their console instead of buying it locally.

True that. I actually saw this on the news last night, the general reaction to the price was so negative there was a whole report about the console.
Anyways, according to the report, it's actually cheaper to book a flight to the US, buy the console and a game and fly back. Holy crap...

Im actually not sure on this case, but, for the sake of comparison, 30% of the price of a new car are taxes and duties, according to official sources, but the government likes to apply taxes on top of taxes, so, in reality, when you buy a new car you might be paying over 55% of the price in taxes.
I believe something similar happens to other stuff, like PS4s...

I'm not entirely surprised by this, we have similar issues in Australia where we pay on aver 50% more for digital copies of software, some as high as 300% higher than the US.
The government launched a prince inquiry to try and get the biggest offenders: Microsoft, Apple and Adobe to answer for it with mixed results.
Our consoles are pretty much on parity with the US this time around, once you account for tax and shipping.
