Premium Version Selling Better Than Core In India
The survey revealed shocking stats, but none as shocking as this, the Premium version, which is the expensive one is outselling the cheaper Core version. GameGuru.in called up all the dealers listed on the Xbox 360 India site. Here are some of the stats: Total Xbox 360 sold: 839 Total Premium Versions sold: 458 Total Core Versions sold: 235 Total Xbox 360 Game CDs sold: 1359 The ones which caught our attention, besides the Premium and the Core version sales was that people in India want a PS2 or a PS3 and they are actually waiting for the PS3 to release here. The funny one was a case in Ahmedabad where a person who went for a Xbox 360 but purchased a Samsung LCD! So it seems that Xbox 360 is indeed doing decently in India thanks to the booming middle class, an upcoming economy and also the enthusiasm in the Indian gaming industry. What remains to be seen is how the Xbox 360 sales will shape up, if Sony, which was bruised and “chain sawed” by Nintendo and Microsoft worldwide, decides to jump in to the fray and introduce the PS3 in India.Source: http://www.techshout.com/
