I can only understand this as Sony giving up our market to Microsoft. Anyways, we did some math here and it'll be cheaper to fly to Chile, buy a PS4 there and fly back here.

A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

For a lot of products, that's true, but I need to see the specifics for the PS4, because sometimes the import tax is surreal.

Given Microsoft chose to give up "the rest of the market" to Sony (by dint of offering only bad features and XBONE HAS NO GAMES LOL), I think that's fair.
Mostly I'm surprised someone else is paying a bigger "fuck you" tax than Australia.

Don't know how import taxes work exactly in Brazil, but wouldn't you have to pay the tax then too? ((And not that anybody does it, but technically when you fly, buy it and then bring it back, you'd have to pay the import tax too))

I guess like Crapcom, Sony hates money.

You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

For the PS3, that seemed to be the best guess. They started off with such a landslide of fuckups that I'm still not sure how the PS3 eventually overtook the XBox360.
For the PS4... there are a few countries they don't really care about - quite possibly there's a certain amount of "These consoles are fucking expensive, we'll sell them at a loss and make the rest off the games" going on for both PS4 and X-Bone, and it's a matter of "cutting costs" by deciding to just write a few countries off.
