Some spin! You know 3DS has just the one competitor and PS4 has 2?

Its also not fair to compare nintendo games to multiplats all the time (Sales wise). 1 console vs 2 (or 4) :P (Not aimed at you, just speaking generally)

But seriously though, there is so many unfair comparisons. Nintendo wins HH, and Sony wins Consoles. Nintendo Wins Best SW legs in the industry, Sony wins in HW legs.

There now everybody WINS

No. Even though Wii U won't eclipse PS4 it will begin to speed up rapidly the next few years, keeping PS4 from achieving 50%. Also achieving 50% really means nothing if both your competition is at 10m combined while you're at 30m

XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

Nah don't think so. It may get close but XOne and WiiU will hold their own in Q4, preventing it from happening.

It seems pretty inevitable, now. This holiday is going to be big for the PS4, and just decent for the One and Wii U. Japan's sales will also increase once devs switch from the PS3 to the PS4 and some larger games release. Then, sales will increase even more once the PS4 drops to $299.

Xbox One, Just like PS3 will come back and sell very high, They already signaled they will drop price, meaning will well see a price cut in the Fall. Most likely $100 off. This will push numbers very high for XBox One. The launch was very successful and looks like they just need the price to be right. The ones not buying in, obviously think $500 is just to much and to many it is. However $399 would be acceptable I think. So No I don't Think PS4 will get 50% market Share. It's only a matter of time before MS makes some major moves and this will stimulate sales.

So then Sony will drop the PS4's price.

Nope. Certainly not.

The ratio between the PS4 and the XBox One will be much closer in the future. Ultimately, the systems are incredibly similar, and effective marketing/exclusives will shift the balance.

The Wii U is already doing a bit better than it was, and that trend will continue. I'm not expecting any miracles from the Wii U, but its sales will be more than adequate to fill whatever gap is between the PS4 and XBox One.

Pretty certain it will given its doing near 60% already for the year with no games . X1 will never close sales, for the past months the gap between them has only grown.

While Wiiu is doing as well as its ever gonna do, no game will do what KArt did and wiiu will never have it as easy on the market once the big games start dropping. You know the ones that wiiu is not getting. Sub 18m Lt sales are not be adaquet to fill the gap that will be easily over 4-1 for PS4 and more LT.
