Well, actually i'm from Brasil, and I'm gladly waiting to see what this console will be capable of, anyway there is not any type of propaganda. And just to speak so (I'm only speaking for Brazil, because I don't if the same proceeds in other countries) there is a BIG reason people don't buy games here, it's ridiculously pricey, when in the US or Europe something costs 50 dollars/euros, here it's 250(or more) reals = 110 dollars(or 80 euros).
That being said, the Xbox 360 is 1000 reals, thats for an cheap Arcade version, which is equall to 350 dollar (... ain't that the price of a elite version... hehe), so if that Zeebo is going to the launched in the price tag of 190 dollar = 450 reals, the it will have a nice market, but if it launched for an expensive 900 reals (which is more real if imported from other countries) then it will fail miserably, at least here in brazil.
Guess I made my point.
PS: I wouldn't like to be stuck with oldies on a console, that's why everone own an PS2, hehe.
