IS THE PLAYSTATION 5 ALSO SLATED TO RECEIVE A PRICE HIKE?

There have been rumblings of a PS5 price increase in India and given that Sony has increased PS5 prices in other regions including Europe, the Middle East, Canada, and more, Sony India could do the same.

However, it is anticipated that a price hike shouldn’t have a direct impact on PS5 sales in India given that the console has cemented itself and is still in high demand. According to Rishi Alwani, there are an estimated one lakh units across the nation (including grey market imports).
