Well, here is this piece in the Business standard that seems to think so or at least wants us to believe so.
Xbox is pretty similar to Playstation and offers more or less the same technical specifications. Though officially now available in India, it has still created quite a stir among gamers in the country.
And it is still big, eh?
PS 2 sold about 100,000 units in the country and was expecting to see an upward swing after the launch of PS 3. PS 3 was said to be one of the most awaited gizmos.
The sound of big. Hundred thousand units. Check out the console wars section of wikipedia for some dope on whats big.
Gaming is niche, niche and niche. It is not mainstream, not yet. In a country where PC penetration is yet to be "big", I fail to see how gaming can be big. One thing that does have potential is mobile gaming and here too, numbers are low.
