Believe it : PlayStation 4 will cost U.S. $ 3,999 in Brazil . The announcement was made by Sony on Thursday ( 17 ) , in a press release and also by the PS Blog .

The game arrives in the country on November 29 , two weeks after the U.S. release and the same release date in Europe and the rest of Latin America .

PS4 comes out in the U.S. for $ 400 , less than $ 100 to Xbox One , Microsoft . Interestingly , in Brazil the situation is reversed : the PS4 is nothing less than R $ 1,800 more expensive .

The Sony game to game will MSRP at $ 179, or U.S. $ 20 cheaper than had been anticipated by mistake by the Brazilian online store of Sony , which accidentally released the digital version of " Knack " in pre - sale for $ 199.

The price of games is also curious as PS4 launches leave for £ 179 for the new PS3 have suggested retail price of $ 149 since June 2012. In the U.S. , launches for both games come out at the same price of $ 60 .

Sony offered no explanation for the high price of the PS4 and its games in the country .

why sell for 3500$ when one could get it for 1800$?

If you read the article it is  $ 3,999 in Brazil and $1,800 more than the xbox one

3,999R$ ( as Brazil Real).  3,999R$ = 1,800$

My bad you are correct, I read Proff's article translation which says " PlayStation 4 will cost U.S. $ 3,999 in Brazil ".

All imported products are expensive in Brazil, it's a heavily taxed country, but in fairness it probably needs to be at the moment.

But still singapore pc hardware prices are ok,about 10% higher than in the Usa. Here in Thailand ,prices are also about 10% higher than in usa.But that Brazil prices are just ridiculously insane. PS4 preorder is about 14.000baht here =450$.

 

Dat car prices lol

http://www.mazda.com.sg/upload/Mazda_Pricelist.pdf Mazda 3 100k $.damn.Why is it so high in singapore?

Here in Thai it's about 30.000$ for a honda accord,toyota camry type of car. Of course,singapore has higher average salary but still it's insanely expensive.

The $100 price advantage the $399 PlayStation 4 enjoys over the $499 Xbox One here in the States is nothing compared to the massive difference between the two in Brazil. According to our Brazilian sister site, Microsoft's console will be sold for a mere R$ 2,200, or $1,016 USD.

 

 

So looks like the Xbox One is cheaper in the Brazilian market...

 

All jokes aside, I can get why the prices are so high, because of import fees, but damn, $1850 and $1016!? That's insane for a console! I'm really curious as to why the cheaper console has a MUCH higher price point than its costlier (in NA) rival.

BUILD A DOPE PC WITH THAT MONEY!!!

[MasterJV]

That's insane. Can't think of a reason for it to be this expensive.

[coen113]

BUILD A DOPE PC WITH THAT MONEY!!!

[Zajeb]

Yea, Desktop PC is dead, buy cheap consoles. Yea right.

If you think consoles are expensive in Brazil, then you have no idea what the hardware for a computer costs then!
