POWER DOES NOT SELL CONSOLES.
And the PS4 is not winning this generation.

If the XBox One is able to make people forget about their E3 2013 fiasco IN A YEAR & overcomes the PS4 in America already, then PS4 is already in trouble.
When PS4 was outselling XBox One & Wii U COMBINED for months at a time & now has to fight for top sales spot in America, it's not a good sign for PS4.
ESPECIALLY when they don't have Japan on their side.

What I wrote isn't just a factoid, it's a FACT.

Power doesn't not sell consoles, either. The most powerful console has traditionally been a misbegotten product. For the first time ever, that isn't the case. People aren't suddenly going to realize that the PS4 is TOO STRONK and run from it like third parties fleeing a Nintendo system.

I'm pretty sure PS4 outsells Xbone by more than 10:1 on an average week in Japan (by more than 30:1 in the latest Famitsu), so I'm not sure what you mean by Japan not being on the PS4's side. Unless you are talking about the Wii U, which you really shouldn't be as it is a complete non-factor now that it has been handily outsold WW by both of its competitors in less than a year.

So PS4 has Europe locked down, Japan's withered rump of a home console market doesn't much matter anymore, and Xbox had to drop to $50 below the PS4's price to eke out a win in its own home market this holiday. And that's all with Sony having a barren year software wise compared to both of the others, which certainly won't be the case going forward. Game over. Better luck next time.
