Although you list some good points, you seem to think that Sony are going to stand about and watch.
I think MS has played a lot of cards, Sony has yet to have a price drop. MS has Halo, Sony has Uncharted. MS has Forza, Sony has GT7. MS has money but they aren't going to throw it around because they can, they still need to make profit. Buying 3rd party exclusives is going to cost them a lot more than it would cost Sony just because they have a smaller market share, believe it or not but Sony has the advantage.
X1 outselling PS4 in Europe, yes it's possible. Next year, no. Sony have to much momentum in Europe to be beaten next year and they are going to slack anytime soon. If MS can start to swing it in their favour then we could see a steady shift towards them.
I'm being serious but not sure if this a troll thread or not.
