 "At Rs 39,900 the PS4 is way overpriced")
Editor’s note: This is a reader comment we got on the article, “ Rs 39,990 is the right price for PS4: Sony Playstation India head ". As is Firstpost policy, we have lightly edited for grammar and spelling, but the comment has been left as is.

The 399$ price tag in the US includes the profit margin and the tax paid to the US govt. The justification provided by the Sony head is not very believable.

The 399$ price minus the US tax minus the profit margin is the base cost.
That base cost plus import duties plus VAT would still be under Rs 30,000.
