A quick google shows that neither the PS2 nor the PS5 reached even a million consoles sold. You are grossely over estimating the financial power to to console cost in India regardless of population. It's still massively a population in poverty without luxary spending power and long work hours even in it's middle classes.

The medium wage in India is still $250 a month. Even the Switch lite cost more than that. Looking further 90% of Indians earn less then that and the middle class in india starts at 500 dollars a month. You are severely over estimating what Indian earn, how many of them earn a decent wage that can buy western products, it's massive unequal. India has neither the middle class population nor culture. Rich Indians have it on the grey market or a Switch 2 brought from abroad.

Well lets say they buy half of that, 500K. Still pretty good considering Nintendo forecast 2 million worldwide.  More than plenty European countries would.

Nintendo would not make this move if they think they'll sell a 1000 consoles. They'll probably have better data then a google search.
