When it comes to popular shooters, the sales disparity hasn't been that big.

Look at BF4 or CoD:Ghosts. The PS4 has double the audience but the sales difference has only been about 500K.

I'm thinking EricFabian's prediction is reasonable based on what we've seen.

That comparison doesn't work because those are launch games which as the OP said, were heavily inflated sales wise. Plus, on PS4 those titles have KZSF to contend with, and we know that game sold pretty damn well. The PS4 didn't have double the audiance back in Nov-Dec. 

The flaw in your argument is some genres have sold about double on PS4 because the audience is significantly larger. Look at ACIV, Watch Dogs, or Tomb Raider. But the sales disparity isn't as large with popular shooters. Why? Shooters are very popular among the X1 audience.

Consider this, between CoD:Ghosts, BF4, Wolfenstein, and Titanfall the X1 has sold 5.51 million units.  While CoD:Ghosts, BF4, Wolfenstein, and KZ:SF on PS4 sold 7 million units. That's only a 1.5 million even though PS4's has a much larger audience.

What's does that prove? The X1 has a higher attach ratio on shooters than PS4. I'm sure Destiny will do better on PS4. But selling about 3.5 times as much? I don't think so. US Pre-orders don't reflect those numbers either.
