Microsoft Drops Xbox 360's Price In India

A great news for Indian gamers. Microsoft India dropped the price of their gaming console, Xbox 360 250 GB model in India.

On the price drop Anshu Mor, director, Interactive Entertainment Business, Microsoft said that, "We are committed to offer great experiences to our consumers at compelling price points. This price drop on 250 GB SKUs, coupled with our recently launched Xbox Live Gold Rush promo, will provide great value to our community of fans and gamers".

The Price Changes Are As Follows :



• Xbox 360 250 GB (Standard Version) now costs Rs. 21,990 which was priced Rs. 24,990 previously.

• Xbox 360 250 GB with Kinect motion controller now costs Rs. 31,990 which was priced Rs. 34,890 previously.

Sadly this price-cut doesn't extend to the Xbox 360 4 GB and Xbox 360 4 GB Kinect Bundle models.

Their Prices Are As Follows :

• Xbox 360 4 GB standalone costs Rs. 15990/-

• Xbox 360 4 GB with Kinect costs Rs. 26000/-

Microsoft has started working again to strengthen its roots in Indian market. Dropping price is just their first step. As the company is  expected to launch its highly anticipated gaming console, The Xbox One (which sold over 5 million units till today worldwide) in the month of September in India.

Whether this step is taken by them to increase their percentage in Indian market or to give competition to their biggest rivals SONY (PS4 available for Rs. 39900/- & PS3 available for Rs. 23000/- for 500 GB & Rs. 17000/- for 12 GB model). Whatever the reason is, whatever their strategy is, its definitely a great news for Indian gamers. Specially for those who always wanted to buy a gaming console but were short of money.

So tell us in the comment section below, whether you will buy Xbox 360 or PS3 or you will wait for Xbox One to launch in India or you will wait for another price drop?

Is this price drop strategy heavy enough to convert PlayStation fans in Xbox fans?
