Probably won't sell more than 500k units lifetime there then. I guess every little helps, but man it makes you realise how small the gaming market is there, for a country of 1.2b people.

500k would be huge.
India is still way behind in most parts if u compare the BRIC countries

Sudenly people that don´t belive BF surveis trust blindly in obscure and baseless numbers from India.

Any way, India is a grey market paradise.

Why do you say that they are baseless?

1- Seems to be anedoctal. One retail says it 20 to 1 software sales. Assuming 50k is the target for Sony and that they are close to reach it... When their fiscal year end? Or is that for the end of this year? Or, didn´t PS4 was launched there last December?

2- India PS4 is the second most expensive in the world (losing only for the Brasilian). Grey market florish there. Is the 50k only official sales? Is the 1,5k XOne only Amazon´s?

3- A big crowd gathered for GTA-V launch??? That is hard to belive, there where no report of crowds any where in the world. And I was in one of the biggest malls in my country and there were no extra moviment for GTA-V on the PS4 and XOne (nor last year for the PS3 and 360, althought they had more advertise and the lots of PS3 bundles) .

4- India is a big and diversified country. Mumbai alone is not representative.

I already said that

They expect the 50.000 at the end of theire fiscal year. That ends 31st March 2015.
The Ps4 launched the 6th January. The Xb1 23rd September
