Not any more, my friend. Just in:


Also, GTS is mainly well-known particularly for among PlayStation circles, titles, and preorders. Back in the day, they used to have a PC section selling digital keys, which they pulled the cord in 2023. They even shuttered the Switch section end of last year, so naturally it's not surprising for people to not know their name in the Nintendo/Switch ecosystem.

Don't care about US anyway. HK or Dubai are the import hubs for India.

If Duskbloods is really an online game , why make it exclusive? Wouldn't it benefit from players from other consoles too?

It might be exclusive only for a certain time . They say exclusive and then after a year or 2 ..it ends up everywhere from mobiles to toasters.

except for first party games ..I no longer get excited with the word "exclusive " anymore.

Yeh Sab Ganda hai ..par dhandha hai.

The most optimistic projections put the Indian sales at about half a million units. Considering the over 150 million units sold worldwide, it is about 0.3% of their sales and don't think Nintendo would bother with that. Sony has sold about the same number of PS5 units officially, and it seems population with discretionary spending on consoles in India is about that much in India at present and will probably not expand much if prices keep going up.

Half a million sold in grey. Imagine Mario power if people actually get to demo games in stores officially.
But I hope it keeps coming via grey route. Tends to be cheaper.

The power of nostalgia is something, but most of those who are interested, do pick it up through the grey route as you mentioned. Maybe Nintendo might be able to sell double that by spending on marketing and logistics, but that would still not be substantial enough. Paying equal to or more than US prices, considering the purchasing power over here reduces it to a niche product and doesn't appeal to the general audience.

Switch got sold half a million because it was easiest of all the big 3 to get modified/jailbreak for pirated games. If gamers in India had option of only buying original games from Nintendo they would have maximum sold between 1lakh to 2 lakh .

Nintendo can do something like regional pricing and all to increase numbers in India . If it is seriously thinking of officially coming here but if it wants to stick to its $70-$80 pricing for gaming in India too.....they will be making a mistake.
