Microsoft recently launched the Elite. Can we expect a similar upgrade from Sony in the near future?
Sony is constantly researching and innovating products, so upgrades and completely new products can and always should be expected.
Sony has been launching raids all over India but piracy will never fully be curbed from this country especially with the internet. How do you guys plan on tackling that issue?
The grey market has been an area of concern for the gaming industry over the past few years. However, with the changing duty structure and reducing price gap between original and grey market products consumers are increasingly looking at buying original products with assured warranty and quality features. Furthermore our extensive retail network of Sony stores ensures a far wider reach for our products. We are also planning to initiate an anti piracy drive soon.
Two of the questions fired at them went unanswered so Milestone Interactive’s CEO, Jayant Sharma jumped in to fill in the blanks.
MS has platinum games that sell for anything between Rs. 1500 – Rs. 1700 instead of the usual 2510. Can we expect a similar treatment for PS3 games in the future as well?
Yes. We will have PS3 mid-price games nearer to the Winter/Holiday Season.
Is Killzone 2 really in the pipelines? Will this game be out by this year?
Killzone for the PS3 is definitely work in progress. It has already been getting great reviews worldwide and we should launch with the title early next year.
