PS4 is at 7.87 in NA. Xbone is at 7.14 in NA. Yes, I do believe Halo 5 will be enough to take over NA and from there on just keep on running. Remember that MS isn't shy to cut the price for Christmas. $249 Xbone standing next to a Halo 5? How is Sony going to compete with that? I'm European, so can't truely judge the Halo 5 effect, but I get the impression that the craze it causes can only be matched by GT when it comes to Sony's games. It is hard for me to imagine how Sony could turn people's attention away from Xbone this Christmas. Xbone is going to be the console to get this year, MS will make damn sure about that.

PS4 will be more than 1 million ahead of X1 in North America before the holiday season. I really don't think that Halo 5 can somehow close the gap in such a short timespan. Such a thing is unheard of. PS4 dominates the region without even officially having a price cut while X1 has had every sort of deal yet still manages to come up short. The fact that its cheaper now and still selling worse just proves that it can't even compete with PS4 on even ground, let alone cheaper ground. Microsoft have to compete on the biggest handicap to even have a chance to truly dominate, and that's only for a short while. X1 may get a big boost in the holiday season, but that won't be enough to nullify the PS4's lead for this entire year or the next year or the year after that and so on.
Not to mention that software sales in NA are greater for PS4 than on X1 and the gap will only grow

Simple. The Xbox One would have to outsell Sony by a million with their outrageous Xbox One holiday deals that they have every year. They also have black friday. Sony has the world but Microsoft will be damned if they lose America.
