There is so much flaw in that logic

At first,Microsoft won't win the USA by the same amount the 360 did over the PS3.
At second Microsoft won't have 12 out of 12 months going like November and possible December.Those months will get used to egalize a lot of the sales Sony gathered over the other 10 months.
Lets not forget - Sony didn't do much this Holiday in the USA.Maybe they will go aggressive next November too and at least 2016 when they probably have the usual first big price cut.
So the X1 in the best scenario for Microsoft will stay around the same amount of distance with the PS4 as right now aka not a big one.No one is saying the PS4 is slaying the X1 in the USA.The distance between them isn't far.But 2015 won't start by zero and more like a 500k difference - Sony can build up on that year by year if they do it right.
Ok lets go by "neck to neck" in the USA - They are nearly equal.

But what is actually increasing the gap?Why is the PS4 probably around 10 Million ahead already?
Hm if the USA = world and so important how can that happen?
Oh yeah cause Sony understands to penetrate other markets which they completely dominate and widen the gap.
So what does this mean?Europe = World?Rotw = world? Nope World = World.
You have to do good everywhere which only the PS4 is able to do so.There is no competition and the USA isn't the most important market.
Its a market you have to do good in cause a lot of people buy stuff there.But at the end its just a market out of many.
Its for Microsoft the EASIEST to do good in and deliver a fight which may be interesting for some people but at the same time completely meaningless.
