More about PS5 

A number of gamers have also been asking about the price of the PS5. But the makers have yet not revealed the official price range for the console. There has been a lot of information about the same on the internet and it suggests that the price could range anywhere around  $500 for the blu-ray drive version and $450 for the All Digital edition. That transforms to ₹ 37,300 and ₹ 33,500 respectively when directly converted.

But after looking at the last console’s pricing range, this isn’t the price we should judge the PS 5 on. This is because the PS4 launched in 2013  was for $399. In 2013,  $399 was about ₹24,000 when converted directly. But when the PS4 was launched in India it was for ₹ 39,999. This is because of the inclusion of taxes and import duties. Thus it could be safe to consider ₹50,000 as the estimated price for PS5.
