Well done Killzone, it's a shame Knack failed to break the top 25.

The X1 exclusives have done well considering they had a week less on store shelves. Surprised me that they kept pace with the PS4 after their awful reveal/E3 events.

I see it differently. Xbox used to dominate the US and now they are neck and neck with Sony. I can't see MS being happy about that espicially if the continue to lose ground in the US. That will essentially mean they lost the market share they gained with the 360 which is taking a step back. A company like MS wants to continue to see the xbox gain more and more market share which is what has been happening until now it seems.

Really though it's way to early to tell how this is going to end. We wont really know to middle of next year the earliest.

Yes, it's far too early to predict how the US is going to go. 

Sony have been practically flawless in the build up to the PS4's launch and have deservedly had a great launch.  However once the launch hype passes it's going to be down to the software to drive sales.  Sony's next big exclusive is inFamous: Second Son, it looks great but InFamous has never really sold crazy numbers in the past.

Microsoft have had a very bumpy road leading up the X1's launch but have responded well to critisism.  The Xbox One recently broke the 2M worldwide barrier (Something that took the Xbox 360 5 months to do) and probably has a stronger game (in the eyes of a USA audience anyhow) on the horizon with Titanfall.  That said, Titanfall is an unproven IP and will also launch on PC and X360.

It should make for an interesting battle.
