Will the PlayStation 5 also get a price increase?
There have been rumors of a PS5 price increase in India and since Sony has increased PS5 prices in other regions including Europe, Middle East, Canada and more, Sony India could be doing the same.
However, a price hike is not expected to directly impact PS5 sales in India as the console has cemented itself and is still in high demand. According to Rishi Alwani, there are an estimated one lakh units in the entire country (including gray market imports).
