AvailabilityXbox360
The Pro unit of the Xbox 360 is available through most major consumer electronics retailers across the country. The Core unit, on the other hand, has been phased out of production; it’s available only till stock lasts.
PlayStation 3
The PS3 is available at all major retailers too, but word is that they’ve almost run out of stock. If stock runs out before the next big shipment, the console might become scarce in the market.
Wii
Since the Wii’s available only in the gray market, retailers keep running out of stock from time to time. Also, not every retailer in the gray market has one, so you might have a tough time finding one.

Xbox360
Since the Xbox360 had a head start, it has the maximum number of titles released in the country so far (around 86), a good number of which are exclusive to this platform. Apart from the games available in retail, you can also buy many ‘Xbox Live Arcade’ titles from their online store. New games are priced at either Rs 2,499 or Rs 1,999 (EA), while some of the older titles are available for Rs 1,499.
PlayStation 3
The PlayStation 3 has roughly half the number of titles the Xbox360 does (about 40). Just like the Xbox Live Arcade games, the PlayStation Network has casual games, but not as many as the Xbox360. On the other hand, the PlayStation has one of the best casual games I’ve ever played, called Pain. New titles are priced at either Rs 2,799 or Rs 2,499, while older ones are available at Rs 1,499 (EA) or Rs 1,799.
Wii
Most of the units available in the gray market are modded to play pirated games, which are available for as little as Rs 150. Not recommended.
