Why is Nintendo so unpopular in this part of the world? htt

What country is that?

>>389039980
Africa?

>>389039980
Nobody like kid games on latinoamerica

>>389039980
Because it's overpriced as fuck

>>389039980
No nostalgia indoctrination. It's not that Nintendo is unpopular in SA, it's that it's only popular in Murica and Japan

>>389039980
Because buying a console is fucking expensive as hell, it's more worthwhile to build a PC and play F2P games or pirate.

>>389039980
Because they are poorfags who can't afford video games.

Its cause Nintendo execs had meetings in brazil and they brought along their daughters and their daughters got hue'd

>>389040450
You mean retarded socialist economic policy artificially inflates the prices.

Why is Nintendo so unpopular in this part of the world?

I heard gaming in general is expensive in Brazil. Live over there and pirating might be your only option.

>>389040138
Europe.

uma

>>389039980
Nintendo games are pretty hard to find in argentina, at least.
It's either digital only or bust.

>>389039980
Have you seen the prices there?
Sony is the only one that distributes directly there, it is the only company with decent prices, meanwhile Switch and Xbox One go for over 500$.

>>389039980
Honest answer

It doesn't have Dragonball games or many big showy games in general.

My fellow spics like hype shit with intense narration just watch the announcer in a football, soccer, game and look at the intensity it brings and watch as the crowds cheer like they won the fucking lottery. Nintendo does not offer that experience. Nintendo is very mundane and down to Earth going for the non-degenerate market that runs on shock and spectacle and appeals to simple moral foundation of humanity.

Spics care about family and thus find Nintendo's family atmosphere to be boring as they live it daily working for fucking pennies while trying to provide for their families, before they get into drugs and end up in a well that is.

So in short Nintendo is just not a spectacle. Nintendo has cultural and morale values that are below that of the typical spic FAMILY unit. Note interpersonal morals and values all depend on if they consider you to be family otherwise watch your back

I guess piracy. Same applies to slav countries, they had tons of NES knockoffs and in the PS1/PS2 gen, they just sold pirated discs. Couldn't do that with Nintendo games.

Mexico is the only country that matters to Nintendo in latinamerica

Is the issue here that pricing is too expensive

That and pirating makes for a bad combo.

For perspective the switch costs 480 us dollars in Mexico and their average pay is 5 bucks an hour

>decent prices

Its difficult to pirate and what cant be pirated is too expensive. Thats why Nintendo hasnt been popular down there since the snes.

>>389041664
each country has his prices, steam from mexico is almost the same as the us

>>389041074
penguins hate Mario after the abuse they had in Mario 64

Because it's the home of soccer and drugs and everything scummy, barely anyone would have interest in Nintendo over the others, especially given the prices there.

>>389040681
That has nothing to do with it tho, only Brazil is retarded about vidya.

Colombian here. In my opinion it was a bunch of factors.
1. Piracy. While this country was NES / SNES territory, when the fifth console generation came the Playstation was cheaper and the games could be pirated, making it the console of choice while only a few people (the ones with acquisitive power) bought the N64.
Have in mind this country is a third world country so people go to the cheapest alternative.
2. From the Playstation era onwards Nintendo is seen as a platform for children. All the games people here want to play (sports games, fighting games, shooters) are on the other platforms. Twenty years ago business similar to Internet cafes but with consoles were popular and even then they only had a few Nintendo 64 (mainly for Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64) because people wanted to play mainly Playstation games. Next gen was the same thing except replace Playstation with Xbox and Halo.

>>389040681
/pol/ please. Our countries are poor, have poor acquisitive power and our money is weak. That's it.

Poverty, duh

>>389040450
Just like any other console.
Or everything else for that matter.

The Wii was extremely popular in Argentina

>>389041074
Isn't the Switch outselling every other console 2 to 1?

Werid cuz everytime I play pokemon sun and moon online battle it's either a south American or Japanese dude

But yeah Nintendo isn't big in canada either. From my experience

>>389040450
agreed, I got my ps4 for a reasonable price while the switch costs 2.5x the ps4 price here

Sony has the South American, Africa, and Middle East by the balls because continued marketing and the piracy of ps1 games during the 90s

Before them, Atari dominated them

Nintendo just like USA doesn't know that's from Mexico, they think it's just something for the entire region.

Keep crying that your irrelevant sudaca shithole will never matter to Nintendo.

The N64/gamecube era was catastrophic for nintendo in LA. They went from having a stronghold in the market to not selling anything at all.

>>389040450
No kidding, in bazil, games are considered as a form of "gambling", so they get even more taxed.

Japanese love Mexicans

>>389044007
Mexico has a dedicated Nintendo eshop, unlike the rest of Latam.
Mexico is also one of the biggest video game markets in the world.
Pokemon is huge in here, as well

>>389039980
Because they have good taste.

We don't care.

>>389043151
Lol they don't even make enough to sell 2 to 1.

Everyone knows.

>>389044947
PS1 got released, piracy was rampant

N64 was expensive and the cartridges as well

Try looking at the economic policies your countries promote.

>>389045245
>biggest video game market
>less than 1 billion usd
Weak

>>389045159
No, wait, im retarded. I went to look for source, but that is just a mix-up, because in the classification for taxes, consoles are one category away grom gambling.

My country has always been conservative and far right and it's as poor and underdeveloped as any of the other countries in the continent. But go ahead, keep blaming the communist boogeyman.

>You mean whatever bullshit /pol/ tells you.
No, I barely go to /pol/.
>My country has always been conservative and far right
Is that why it has some of the worst gun control laws in the continent? Please do some real research on what the right wing(named for French parliament) is all about.

>>389047519
Don't bother arguing with third worlders, they can't even understand the reality of their own country. Colombians are no better than niggers in terms of intellectual development.

They're only marginally better off because they're close to the US and they get all the perks of living next to white civilizations.

Nintendo was pretty big in latin america during the 90s.
Admittedly the way most latin americans got into Nintendo was through Famiclones, piracy, but by the time SNES came out, there weren't SNESclones (at least, I never saw one, they weren't common like Famiclones were), and piracy of SNES carts was less common as well. But since latin america enjoyed a small economic bubble in the 90s, Nintendo was still affordable for the middle-class here.
The 2000s were pretty harsh with the economy, so Nintendo became a sort of luxury thing only for the rich, and common people had to content themselves with going to the cyber cafe and paying $1 and hour to play Counter-Strike or GTA III.
Nowadays it's still kind of like that, except since Youtube and LPs became a thing, most kids don't really play vidya anymore.

>>389048310
Playstation is just leagues above nintendo

>>389048776
Yeah, I forgot to mention PlayStation and its piracy (and soccer games) also are popular here, but nowadays, Youtube and LPs are the most popular thing for kidsm and luckily for parents, free.

Because based Nintendo hates filthy Latin niggers.

>>389049146
Both Koji Kondo and Hirokazu Tanaka have a lot of influence from latin american music though.

>>389049146
USA is 52% white, lmaoing at your life nigger
