Last month, online retailer Snapdeal seemed to be quite confident about the gaming console coming here in December and was taking pre-bookings.

PS4 up for pre-order

In August, Sony had announced it received more than 1 million preorders worldwide, so we expect quite a lot of pre-orders coming from India too. The PS4 has been a runaway hit since its launch. On the first day, more that $400 million worth of PS4 business was raked in from just North America. Earlier this week, the company announced that it has sold over 2.1 million Sony PlayStation 4 consoles in just two weeks.The Xbox One matched the PS4's day one feat of selling over a million units.
