Microsoft Xbox One India price and release date revealed, gamers rejoice

Microsoft Xbox One will be going head to head with the PS4 in terms of price when it is released later in 2014 for Indian gamers seeing as this gaming console will be arriving in the country on September 23 pegged officially at Rs 39,990. The said cost is more or less the same as what Sony’s console is selling at.

This is the price of the Kinect-less Xbox One model, as the bundle bearing the motion tracking accessory will be going for Rs 45,990. The decision to break its Kinect-bundling policy is hence helping Microsoft compete with the PS4 more aggressively.

This announcement was first made by Xbox India head, Anshu Mor via his Twitter account yesterday night. While earlier it was only known that the Xbox One is coming to India this September, the exact date for its release was unknown. September 23 is well before the festive season in India begins, but Microsoft had decided to launch this console in the said month in more than than 20 other countries apart from India.

The Xbox One has been around since last November when it got a limited launch in regions like the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and more. Its base price from the start was $499 which made it more expensive than the PS4 ($399) due to the fact that it kicked in the Kinect accessory as well.

After saying that the Xbox One won’t ever be sold without the Kinect motion-tracking gadget, Microsoft backtracked on its statement and announced a version of the console without it, thus bringing its price down to a much more competitive level.

If you’re hoping to buy the Microsoft Xbox One in India there’s still a lot of time for you to save up Rs 39,990.
