Can the XB1 take back the US crown?

Yes they can. If you mean take the lead in sales in the US. (King implies to me a form of domination)

Right now the gap is 650k or so. And will be around 850k by the end of the month. Do I think they can overcome this? Yes. If PS4 remains at 400 this holiday with XB1 getting Halo and other major titles I think it can catch the PS4 in sales by the end of the year. I see the PS4 build up to a 1.2 million lead and I think in the situation I described XB1 can catch it.

Don't see how that will happen. Its almost like people just can't accept that when it comes to NA, their is no such thing as console loyalty. People seem to think that somehow the XB1 should by default win NA because of how well the 360 did last gen, but forget what happened to the PS2 and PS3. 

Last year by this time the gao was less than 300k, by October it was around 1M, this year by October it will be around the same, and this is all before the inevitable PS4 price drop. every year that gap will get worse. And its pretty much conoketeky downhill for the XB1 after halo. 

I think the biggest tell this gen between the PS4 and XB1, is simply this. The PS4 doesn't seem to need killer exclusives or a lower price drop to be doing better than the XB1. Where does that leave the XB1 when Sony starts playing those cards?

yes, that is why in my scenario Sony cant drop the price for it to work.
