A portion of a GamingIndians interview with Mahesh Toshniwal of Samurai Games India Pvt Ltd., Nintendo’s India distributor…
GI: The NTSC-U/C Wii is available for Rs 16,000 in the grey market. What is the advantage of buying a genuine Wii for Rs 20,000 supplied by your company?
MT: The Wii available in the grey market is without bill and warranty and comes with a duplicate 220 Volts adapter. The grey market Wii brought in from America has a 110 Volts adapter, which is replaced with China-made 220 Volts adapter and passed off as original. Entry to the Fun Club and Loyalty programme will also be restricted to buyers with bill.
GI: Since there isn’t any marketing campaign undertaken yet, how do you aim to inform the consumers about the Wii and its potential?
MT: We have 20 years of experience in marketing video games and we feel that hands-on experience is the best way to spread gaming fever. The Nintendo Wii has been developed for a casual gamer and we will promote it as a family game. The Wii will provide a platform for parents and children to interact with each other everyday, which is something that has become a very rare sight these days.
