Amazon will no longer be the only online retailer that sells the Xbox One in India. Microsoft's game console will go on sale via Flipkart starting on Saturday, October 17, which will end Amazon's 14-month exclusive window for selling the Xbox One.

NDTV reports:

"Commenting on the retail partnership, Anshu Mor, Director - Interactive Entertainment Business, Microsoft India said, "Over the last one year, through our partnership with Amazon.in, we have received an overwhelming response from consumers for Xbox One and Xbox 360 in India. Responding to this growing demand, we are now extending the availability of our portfolio to Flipkart. With this move, we are looking to further expand our presence in the market."

Microsoft started selling the Xbox One in India via its brick-and-mortar stores in September.

  • Glad to know Microsoft is upping its game in the Indian market. Hope we get the same treatment with Windows 10 mobile

  • I just hope they bring the Band 2 to India as well!!! Come on, Microsoft!!!!
  • That's what I'm thinking about... Coz anyhow, Xbox one is already available in amazon India...
  • Why don't they bring the surface products i don't understand.
  • Because they want others to make surface like tablets.
  • Because of their screwed up marketing telemetry which shows that there is not much of a market for Surface while blissfully ignoring the number of people interested in buying an iPad which does a lot less for more. If MS would have studied the market and pushed it aggressively, India would have been a very good market for them. Not sure if they had learnt from Nokia, the tricks of the trade. :)
