USA and UK are the only substantial markets where Xb one will really compete with PS4. Some of the minor markets too, like Aussie and NZ, but PS4 will still win these markets by a reasonable margin.

Xb one is fighting back, but it's not going to make a PS3-like comeback.

If X1 locks US and UK it will be enough for MS.

That's where most of gamers and money at.

Xb one already has those markets locked, even if Xb one doesn't win in theose markets it's been selling well enough to guarantee a sustainable install base. And while you're right that the money from those markets will come and be good for MS, Xb one total sales, as well as market share will shrink in the majority of other markets compared to 360 and thus the gen will be seen as MS suffering from the curse of the 3rd generation, the same as Sony suffered a serious loss in it's 3rd generation, Nintendo's 3rd generation was when it lost it's place as the number one console.
