Can't be true because our resident "insider" said no console will annihilate the other.

1. There is no bomba here. Anyone suggesting either PS4 or X1 will be a flop at launch and that their preferred console will annihilate the other is in for a rude awakening. The PS4 / X1 launch will be the biggest the industry has ever seen.

So is this guy wrong or this is forum poster talking out of his ass?

BenV is reliable and these two statements aren't mutually exclusive.  the OP clearly states (now at least) that he is talking about 1 store.  BenV is talking USA wide.  regional differences are to be expected.  

i don't think ps4 will outsell xbone by 3:1 in the US.   it's just not going to happen like that...  1.5:1 - 1:1  in favor is ps4 is the range i'm personally expecting.  i think that falls well in line with BenV's statements of "neither will flop or annihilate".

in the rest of the world, however, i expect ps4 to pull ahead by a good margin.  the shear number of additional markets ps4 is launching in should be enough to guarentee that.

We'll see how reliable he is won't we?

The one store is the 150:30, he goes on to state: On avg there have been more PS4's than XB One pre orders.

1.5x in the US is annihilation. That's 60% market vs 40% in the US alone. When you consider this, worldwide we should expect much worse for XBO.

70% vs 30% not out of the realm of possibility. That's complete annihilation.
