with all due respect to mohit

i think they wouldn't want to lower the price for two of most successful games in india

meh!

After the December Calendar blowing up, this is just yet another thread...

Prince these are games already available, pls compare to the December calendar that i shared with a few of you, all the games that were mentioned there are now available. For the platinum pricing...import duties are not refundable by the Gov't of India, so the price will drop only when new qty's come in after existing qty's are sold thru.

still no Fifa 07... and Mr Anand.. and hope of getting crackdown with the rest of the world

as far as i know  and have seen for kameo and PDZ only the price tag has been changed,it does not ship in the platinum hits jewel case and in some stores i have even seen ,the 2510 price tag being cut and 1499 written using a pen.any explanations for that one??.

I am sorry, if i caused some disrespect but my point was not about the prices. I have compared the prices with other countries and i found that games are cheaper in India. Price's of games going down is really good as it will help boost the sales.

My point was that the games mentioned in the above list , not many of them are available everywhere. They just reach the metro's but what about other cities? From the December Calendar, only NFS: Carbon was spotted by me, infact the chief distributor (of the city) who is responsible for the xbox360 games even said that COD3 is not available in the entire state.

Maybe you guys should follow up and see that games reach each and every state and atleast make their way through major cities in that state. Infact selling through ebay is a good option too but the eshop is not quite updated well. The last game that i bought was Gears of War which was in Mid November, since then i am still waiting for new games to come...

That was my whole point

Multiple things to answer:  

1. COD 3 is a 3PP title and distributed in India by WWCDROM a Mumbai based importer of game content. We have been working very closely with that company to expand its reach and distribution, but a company which was a single city operation cannot scale to a national level distributor in a short time. Pls understand that gaing s/w was being brought in generally by these small niche segment players up until the Xbox 360 launch and post that only are oganised and large scale distributors now looking at  this very seriously. Redington is a case in point who we appointed as our India distributor and we continue to reccomend them to other 3PP publishers. Though both organizations need to go thru contractual negotiations which take time and that is reality.As a consequence these smaller companies do not have ideal reach but nonetheless are stepping stones to getting the eco-system right slowly but surely. Hope that clarifies the sitution and you did not cause any dis-respect, pls keep the feedback coming as I always say. Its all good. The list that I have put out is available readly and if u want any of those titles PM me your coordinates and  will get a retailer near your location to connect with you and get you the content you are looking for

Crackdown will have a simultaneous release

 u guys releasing pro evo soccer over here??

I was wondering that games mentioned above, will Redington be distributing them or it also includes titles from WWC ?

Also wat about accessories ? Introducing some popular face plates would be nice. Any chances if HD-DVD addon will be hitting India in 2007 ? or no chances at all :/

Another thing that i would like to suggest Microsoft India is to sell some kind of extra warranty for the 360, that way atleast all of us have complete peace of mind.

 

 

Please update the online store on E-bay with the new titles. I would like to order COD3.

Also please try and make collector's editions available here.

The list of titles is accross 4 organizations distributing Xbox 360 titles in India. On accessories we are on the job to add more accessories.

The ebay store should be updated by tomorrow.

Offtopic, just a question out of curiosity to Mr. Mohit - How many units of xbox 360 have been sold so far in India ? And do you guys have any target (as worldwide targets which MS, US has) ?  The reason I'm asking this q is, lately I'm not seeing any more ads of x360 on mtv or vh1 or any other channel for that matter.  Also, I've seen that though the units are on display at some major retail outlets, most of the ppl ( including gen x ppl ) are still ignorant about the m/c.  I recently went to a party where almost all of my collegemates did not even understand the concept of x360 !

I'm afraid of x360 losing support and die a slow death here, when we gamers mite be left stranded....a la "matiz" car !

lololol comparing matiz to the 360 ,dear matiz died because daewoo was taken over by GM,who do u think is rich enuff to buy microsoft??

I think he mentioned last month that around 17000 units have been sold in India.
As to the Ad I'm happy its gone, it was actually detrimental to the console. Unless MS can come up with a AD that shows that the XBox 360 is a game console there's no point.
What MS has got to understand is that barring hardcore gamers the last console game most people played was Super Mario Bros. on the NES clone Samurai and the only console name they know is the Playstation (even though very few have played on it). They've got to get these people to see how far consoles have come since that time.
Show an Ad showing some 8 bit game in comparison to GoW or PGR3, emphasize the multi player experience and then maybe add the extra stuff it does to justify its hefty price tag. Get more demo kiosks in malls, a lot more. Nothing will convince casual gamers like actually playing a game.
Do not underestimate the power of celebrity endorsements in India. A local paper had published a story that Shah Rukh Khan and Boman Irani were addicted to some game on the PS2 or PSP and Isha Koppikar was irritated because they would do nothing else in between shots on a movie set. So they gifted her one too and then she was also hooked to video games. Two people in my office actually came to ask me what a Playstation was and where they could get one. Believe it or not its a true story.

Perilous to us all are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves

Microsoft India's marketing needs to come out with some good ideas. They need to be creative, also game advertisements should be shown like GoW's ad was awesome in my opinion. The first advertisement was totally off-track and i think was just done for fun and didnt aim at anything. People need to be explained about the concept of consoles and how its better than a PC. The games should be advertised. One place where Microsoft has an advantage over th ePS2 is the advertisement segment because Sony doesnt advertise PS2.

I am sure stuff can improve a whole lot better when Xbox Live launches over here and someday Microsoft India can tie with several bollywood distributors and with other channels to sell Tv Episodes on Xbox Live. I think there is a great market but it needs to be exploited and this can only begin when the prices of the console goes down.

 

If you have noticed,microsoft have announced xbox360 as a IPTV box at CES. They provided a list of companies that expressed intrest in it. And one of the companies that was listed is Reliance infocomm. You can bet that once they launch IPTV here they will take care of advertising and stuff. Anyway i don't  think Mr. Mohit was expecting that Xbox 360 will be a smash hit and everyone will own one. It is the precussor to something big like the original Xbox to the Xbox360. . Anyway we shouldn't be too worried about getting stranded, microsoft will always ship their games here and frankly the next few games i am looking forward to are from MGS (Halo 3, Mass Effect, Forza 2, Too Human, Fable 2)

BTW Mr.Mohit , can't we have old games like Halo2 , Jade empire, Ninja gaiden,etc  here in India, it will seriously help end the game drought in the short run

The GoW-Mad World Ad was simply superb,the song was just perfect for the game and the cinematic quality of the game.M'soft should also play the Halo 3 Ads(Both the trailer and the commercial)and make people interested aware of such games...

That screenshot where Reliance Infocomm banner was shown in the Keynote of Bill Gates at CES was provided by me ;) just so you know, its a different story that i had posted it in the other forums. Besides i dont see IPTV entering India anythime before 2H of 2008 because IPTV itself will be coming around the holiday time of 2007. Before we even enter IPTV there is a long way for us to go. IPTV will only work on Fiber Optics, so its just better to forget about IPTV as of now.

That means HALO 3 will be released without delay here Also, if you can manage the same with the release of some other bb titles like Assasin Creed, GTA 4 etc, x360 community of India will be very thankful

You should know the answer to that one by now - 'Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation'.
Although it should release sometime in March this year (along with LIVE hopefully). Then the 360 marketing will begin in earnest with the World Cup in full swing.
