Ah well...

They were warned quite a few times that dumping on their long term users
was a BAD idea...

That the sales outlet provide the warranty is common practice in most
parts of the world, including the EU and there is really no need to have
outlet that cannibalizes on the local distributors market share.

Nikon will sell cameras to Brazilian outlets that will provide warranty
under Brazilian law, and Nikon will repair them.:

"The company's other business segments, including customer service and
technical assistance, will continue to operate normally in Brazil."

So they close down their "company store"... Big deal!

I don't know the details of what Nikon is doing in Brazil but I expect
a major factor in whatever they are doing is the horrendous state of
the economy and internal conditions within Brazil. See
http://www.heritage.org/index/country/brazil
"A political crisis that, along with declines in commodity prices,
contributed to a sharp contraction of the economy has undermined
consumer and investor confidence. Brazil’s fiscal condition has
been severely compromised by a combination of high inflation,
political paralysis, and widening budget deficits that have
elevated the burden of public debt.

The state’s interference in the economy has been heavy. The
efficiency and overall quality of government services remain poor
despite high government spending. Implementation of any reform
program has proven difficult. Barriers to entrepreneurial activity
include burdensome taxes, inefficient regulation, poor access to
long-term financing, and a rigid labor market. The judicial system
remains vulnerable to corruption.


.... and look at the economic data for the last few years:
