Well that's their main market and probably the only one they still have a small chance of doing well next generation. They will lose the UK because of the very high price. And they aren't even launching in many markets around the world in the first year so Sony will dominate those as well.

You realize that Sony isn't launching in every market either.  In fact, Sony has stated definitively that if you buy a PS4 in an unsupported market, that the games will not work.  Once agian, it's the same limitation that the Xbox One has.   

Oh really?! Wow, that's a terrible restriction for the PS4 but I'm sure though they will support all the major markets initially and launch in more countries than Xbox One. 

Another problem for the Xbox One is that Xbox brand isn't that large outside NA and the UK especially compared to the PS brand. The 21 regions Xbox One is launching in are the one's where the Xbox brand is strong. In almost all the other regions (including most of the one's the Xbox 1 is launching in) the PS brand is larger and if the PS4 releases in those regions first then people won't even consider the Xbox One.
