Oct 10th 2007 3:25PM (Joystiq)When was the last time that a game with the word "MARIO" in first place and that was not published by Nintendo??????
Mexican police nab over 4,500 counterfeit discs
Aug 20th 2007 11:16PM (Joystiq Nintendo)In those markets of "fayuca" you can find ten or twenty times on games of Xbox(360)-PS2. That´s because it was so easy to chip-modd those consoles. Everyone I know from that city don´t buy a cosole if is´s not chip-modded. And they say it´s because you pay higher for a console but less for games, less than $8 for almost any game.
Gamecube and Wii console piracy weren´t as large as microsoft or sony consoles, because the chips were not available on a easy way.
Nintendo was almos piracy (modding) safe, their only problem was counterfeit of games consoles from US. Now that there are gamecube and Wii chips they can start to worry!
BTW the ps3 almos don´t exist at the city. I found on a three day search only five consoles and 10 games (no, not 10 titles, 10 Actual games).
It is a Wii60 land, legal and not.
(Forget my english)
Is the Wii at the perfect console price point?
Jun 9th 2007 11:10AM (Joystiq Nintendo)The price is (on stores) at least $350-375 US, and even like that the wii sells like (yes)hot cakes. And are about 40 games available, even in blockbuster you can rent wii games.
The PS3 sells for 900 US, but there are no games at stores! nor even for rent.
If here the wii were about $250 US it wouldn´t even spend a day at stores.
PS3 launching at $974 in Mexico
Dec 15th 2006 10:12AM (Joystiq)There are a lot of people in México (like in any other places) that play games, "original" games. Since the PS, Xbox, PS2 the piracy busissnes is the rule for a lot of people, because the price at greedy retails. All those "chip-ed" consoles are gotten at US, so the sale count ups there. Then the games are selled at just 1-5 USD at the streets.
That is the reason because Nintendo has better numbers here, because the piracy is not an important issue, and buy from retail are sometime very close to the prices in the North american market. Free market really makes low prices, like nintendo products and recently huge events have shown here.
Oh just one point to explain those Laaarge price difference is that here exists a "protection tax" from Chinesse product, that says, all the electronics, and toys with the "made in china" mark, are taxed up to 350% over the market value in the US. that´s why.
