Prices of PS4 and every other PC hardware is too much in developing countries.

I am a gamer and a middle class "Indian", and I was in a dilemma between a PS4 or a GTX 1050 PC.

 

But prices in India are waaaaaaayyy too much.

PS4 is $420 (American dollars)

GTX 1050 is $180

and in countries like USA, AUS, UK its half...WTF??????

 

So how r the prices in other countries except the trinity?

 

AND PLZ WHAT SHOULD I DO?

a ps4 will never replace a computer, its too limited might as well join the pcmr, i would take a pc with a low end card over a ps4 anyday o the year, plus i bet the games are really expensive there on the console side

Well a PS4 Pro in the UK has just gone on offer most places for £300 with 1 game so I wouldn't say its half. A GTX 1050 is about £115 so again, not sure your calcs are correct.

Probably gaming or helping technophobes with tech...

Video game prices are same as US or UK

 

And i totally agree even a low end PC is always better than PS4 and m not really into "exclusive" thing.

 

Guess i have to go with high prices and cry over prices

  It all depends on how strong the currency is...but the most important thing is import fees the goverment charges. Because of this they need to raise the price to turn the same kind of profit.... For example in india bringing electronics in for sale can get vendor hit with a 28.8% import tariff at max asides from tax differences and currency value against usd usually.
