US/UK is close and may actually favor Xbox One in November (or not, but only time will tell us). As far as China, PS4 will not be available there before end of year. And I'm sure other countries are close like US/UK. Even Japan is not going to play a big impact in the global number. The real differentiator is Europe.
When MMC comes out and Microsoft starts their PR campaign for black friday period, chances that US goes back to MS are real. Same goes for the UK and the PS4 will NOT be available in China in november too.
So yah, if Microsoft not win a week in november it is definitely because of "Europe".

Why does Japan not matter but China does? Japan is a bigger market...
Also, you're forgetting about a whole lot of countries. Playstation is significantly more popular almost everywhere but the US and UK, or it was so last generation. Now it is significantly more popular everywhere (where both are available), except maybe Brazil for obvious reasons (insanely overpriced)

Thanks for basically repeating what I was saying, at least you totally agree with me.
Oh and we are talking about november... Actually not even... We are talking about beating PS4 one week. The only thing that will not make this happen in november is Europe as MMC will boost Xbox One sales in general but Europe will still win by a huge margin anyway.
Also, if you believe that Microsoft sold 174k console INCLUDING 100k in 24 hours in China this week... Then you are assume a bit too much that VGchartz numbers are rights. I would not be suprised if after adjustments we see the Xbox One ahead for last week. So arguing about if and when the Xbox One will sell more than the PS4 (for a week is almost pointless).

I fail to see how we're saying the same thing. Anything but, really. You say Europe is the only reason for this but I say the WORLD is the reason. MMC won't provide a big boost tbh, I'd be surprised if it jumps more than 40-50% WOW.
Eh, we know already that PS4 is always undertracked on VGC so it's highly unlikely that adjustments will go in favor of XB1...
Also, XB1 didn't sell 100k in China. Ioi estimated 50-80k (don't know his final number).
