Discussion on death threats to Mr. Ashvin *whatever his name is* 

 

& how can IVG community help in adding to his public humiliation & harassment 

I'd rather how IVG community can avoid getting into this totally. Let Sony figure their own sh*t out. :lol:

High price of Sony Consoles and ever increasing prices of games (would love some criticism).. (ok, lots of criticism) on behalf of IVGians.

 

We don't even know what the Sony console is gonna cost here, so what criticism?

It'll be atleast ₹50000 given the fact that Sony is still importing the console. Digital edition will be between ₹35000 - ₹40000.

 

Your point being???

 

The Xbox is gonna cost the same...so....

Well, Xbox has never been as popular here as PS. So expectations from both of them are obviously different.

 

So you want PS to be cheaper because its more popular or the Xbox to be cheap because its not popular?

Both are similarly specc'd. What sort of pricing expectations are you talking about and what does popularity have to do with it?

Guys, popularity has everything to do with it. If a console is popular in a country, company usually starts manufacturing it there to reduce prices. Which is not the case here. Biggest example of this is Samsung whose prices in India are inline with other countries because they started manufacturing their products here. I know most of us are fans of PS but let's be open in criticism and our thinking.

PS4 sold in its lifetime in India less than what it sells on a single Black Friday in the US. So no, PS is not "popular" in India. Its so entitled to expect a company to start manufacturing in your country with shite bureaucracy and Infrastructure.

We don't even sell that many consoles here to consider local manufacturing. No console was manufactured here till date.

 

You're comparing a company that sells phones from 15k to 1.5L. against a product that only has 1 SKU. 

 

You just grasping at straws and want criticism just for the sake of it.

Guys no need to get riled up unnecessarily. Its just an opinion. There are many businesses that manufacture in India to promote their business here without any market share initially. Automobiles, Pharma being some examples. Its not how much you sell, but how seriously you take the market. 

 

Obviously, you don't create a market by:

 1. Charging customers 25-30% more what you charge in other countries despite knowing that the purchasing power of people here is less.

2. Giving lesser services for more money. (Online services like Share Play etc.) 

Indians don't get these features of Sony despite paying more for PS Plus membership.

 

As I said before, don't be blind lovers of a brand. Afterall, there are fans who are even justifying Apple's move to remove charger and earpods from new phones too but it doesn't make it right.
