PlayStation's India Head on PS4


Recommended Posts

PlayStation's India Head on PS4 Price Drops, the 1TB PS4, Sony's E3 Announcements, and More

"All of the announcements that have happened at E3 2015 except the streaming ones [those related to Sony's PS Now streaming service], will be for India," he says. "You will see games coming on time. We see these opportunities because each of the games are big and perhaps in-line with the tastes of the Indian audience. I am personally waiting for Uncharted 4 which is a bit delayed."

India is getting the 1TB PS4 in time for Diwali

Speaking of delays though, India won't be getting the new 1TB PS4 anytime soon. Sony announced that the 1TB PS4 will be available in Europe from July 15, and Bose tells us that while the new model will be coming to India this year, we should expect it around Diwali.

"The 1TB PS4 console will also come into India, but obviously there are certain Indian logistics challenges and certification that needs to be completed," he says. The problem, according to Bose, is that because the PS4 has a different model, it requires fresh BIS certification. That's a fairly long process, and it's slowed the entry of many devices to the country.

"As usual for all hardware what we are doing there will be a few months gap," Bose adds. "We have started all those processes, it will hit the Indian market. The exact time is yet to be charted out, but you are going to have that offering during Diwali."

That BIS certification process needs to be made simpler..Its ruins entry of not only that but other gadgets as well...Also, they don't think it needs a price cut cause they think PS4 is outselling Xbox One and yes it is..but for how long...

^ For quite some time now.

 

Even after all those shenanigans by Amazon.in, the XBox ONE is hardly selling. So yeah, unless there is a massive c*ck up on SONY's part I do not see them getting uncomfortable.

The worst part about the xbox one is the non availability of games at cheap( except once an year when microsoft authorized seller @ amazon decides to go apeshit). No local deals or trades. I think only 2 people own xbox one from the whole state of Kerala and one of them has put it on sale in olx from jan 2015 and guess what ----- Still not sold.

 

The lack of competition is sad.
