Does It Make Sense To Pre-Order The Microsoft Xbox One?Microsoft India will launch its best and fastest Gaming Console in India On 23 September this year for Rs 39,990. The pre-orders of the gaming console are live on Amazon.in. Amazon has announced that it will be the official online partner for Xbox One and users can exclusively buy the new-age gaming console through the portal.

So, does it makes sense to pre-order the new gaming console right away?

We would not bet on it. Amazon is giving some good deals with the new console like Rs 3,000 off on an Xbox one controller and free BD movies. But, we are sure some of these offers will continue to stay at the time of the launch. Users might see some more offers coming around the Diwali or Christmas season.

Then there is the factor of the console getting cheaper over time. Unless you are a hardcore Microsoft Xbox fanboy and want the new toy first, you might want to wait for a quarter or two. Sony’s Playstation 4 is already available in the country since a long time. We just might see a bit of a price war happening between the two as we saw at the time of Xbox 360 and PS3. So our suggestion is to wait and watch. Launch offers and festive season discounts should be something worth waiting for.

It will be interesting to see what Sony does to keep its PS4 sales momentum up.
