I meant USD 1049, not R$ 1049. And it is per capita not per family, and it is average, and it is counting poor people, and poor people do not buy video games anywhere on the world, so mid-class and rich can buy with no problem at all. Game is luxury anyway.Don't you mean avarage income in here was R$1049 instead of $1049? Also, you're not considering many people have families, so it's not like it's R$1049 for just one person
There is two arguments for piracy in Brazil (and in many other similar countries), one argument is the taxes. Bullshit, imported video game taxes in Brazil are 60% just like imported beer, and nobody cry out when buy imported beer (and people here buy A LOT of imported beer).
The other argument is that bullshit that is too expansive for Brazil's standard. The price here is something about 20% and 40% more expansive than USA, and the revenue of Video Games buyer here is (obviously) not the minimum wage.
