The PS4 will easily win the United States

Considering how bad the 360 spanked the PS3 in the States last gen and the fact that the current gap between the PS4 and the X1 is at a mere  500k units despite the X1's slow start compared to the PS4, I wouldn't be so sure. The PS4 might eventually win North America in the long run, but it definitely WILL NOT be easy.

This ain't like a couple generations ago where the PS2 was dominating due to all the 3rd party exclusives and the original Xbox was the Halo machine and not much more.

Nor is it like when MS dominated with the 360 having released cheaper, a year earlier adn had better multiplats. The gap was closed because of TWO months. Sony will likely grow that gap again in the next ten. January is won, February is won (The Order), March is won (Bloodborne), April is won simply because of the momentum of the two previous AAA titles plus MLB The Show. The only month in question is May. That could sway the momentum back to MS but it's a HUGE 'could' and I very much doubt it will. April is Batman: Arkham City exclusive advertising deal. The rest is just a matter of where Sony decide to put their other big hitters. The gap WON'T be closed by as much this year in the US.
