More about PS 5
A number of gamers have also been asking about price of PS5. But makers have yet t revealed official price range for console. re has been a lot of information about same on internet and it suggests that price could range anywhere around $500 for blu-ray drive version and $450 for All-Digital edition. That transforms to ₹ 37,300 and ₹ 33,500 respectively when directly converted.
But after looking at last console’s pricing range, this isn’t price that gamers should judge PS 5 on. This is because PS4 launched in 2013 was for $399. In 2013, $399 was about ₹24,000 when converted directly. But when PS4 was launched in India it was for ₹ 39,999. This is because of inclusion of taxes and import duties. Thus it could be safe to consider ₹50,000 as estimated price for PS5.
