Sony Playstation 3 in India for Rs 39,990
Sony has finally launched their Playstation 3 gaming console in the Indian market at an umm disappointing price point of Rs 39,990. This makes it more expensive than a fairly decent computer for the consumers in the Indian market.
In comparison, Microsoft is selling their Xbox 360 gaming console at price variants of Rs 27,750 and Rs 19,990. Nintendo Wii is not officially available in the market but it is available in the black market for less than Rs. 15000.
Sony believes that the PS3 gaming console offers more than just gaming as it comes loaded with a Blu-Ray drive. Masaru Tamagawa, managing director, Sony India added: “In a package that includes a 60 GB hard disk, a high definition (HD) Blu-ray optical drive, HD video output, Bluetooth wireless controllers and built in Wi-Fi adapter, the results can be an eye-popping multimedia reality for Indian enthusiasts.”
The company faces intense competition from Microsoft in the Indian market. Microsoft is aiming to bring their recently unveiled Xbox 360 Elite console in India and is also planning to launch Xbox Live platform for the Indian gamers in a month’s time.
Sony on the other hand aims to establish an exclusive Sony PS3 store by the end of this year in India.
Consumers face another major hassle going for the Sony’s PS3 console. The games for this console are going to cost around Rs 2,799 per unit. Xbox 360 games cost between Rs 1,499 and Rs 2,510.
We personally are waiting for Nintendo to arrive in India officially. Would that happen?
