Def. not high wages. As somebody pointed out above, the minimum wage in Brazil is about R$650 (about US$300). These high prices are caused by very high import taxes.

The final customer pays about 100% with everything needed to receive the product at home if bought from US (ebay or whatever) for example. The importation taxes and handling costs alone does not explain this difference. We are gonna see all PS4 consoles coming here from Paraguay as usually.
