That's why I said I doubt it will stay ahead. But, looking at those two choices as things stand, now, the Wii U staying ahead of the PS4 in Japan has a much better chance of happening than XBO all of a sudden claiming US. The Wii U is already ahead. And with the state of console gaming like it is in Japan, and the Wii U still having a price cut or two left, with maybe a couple of big games on the way (if they don't move to NX), it's going to take the PS4 probably another year or so to overtake it. Which I think will 100% happen.
The XBO, on the other hand, has to overcome a gap. It hasn't even started started outselling the PS4. The gap just continues to grow, and with a PS4 price cut on the way, things are going to start looking worse. That's why I think it's foolish to say that the XBO has a better chance of passing the PS4 in the US.

Yeah, as things stand now, I don't think WiiU has a realistic chance of finishing ahead of PS4 in Japan.
The thing about Xbox in USA though is that we've seen that Microsoft are willing to burn piles of cash to stay competetive with the PS4. So the situation is kind of in their hands there. It just depends on how much more they're willing to continue spending to try to beat PS4. I don't think Nintendo will go this rout as they're fighting a much larger uphill battle with the huge lack of third party support. It's just not worth it at this point.
Microsoft will keep trying, but personally I think they'll reach a point where they no longer find it worthwhile, because people clearly prefer the PS4, and that's apparently very hard/costly for MS to combat.

Ok, if you don't think that Wii U have a realistic chance for outsell PS4 in Japan, why do you think that XBO have even just a little chance in the hell?
XBO have more exclusive than PS4, XBO cost less than PS4 (and only 50$ more than Wii U, maybe the people forgot this), and the price is dropped by 150$ in the first year VS PS4 withouth sistem seller and still at 400$... result: PS4 beat XBO by a huge margin.
The situation is equal.
Both Wii U and XBO cost less than PS4, and have more sistem seller.
"XBO is comtetitive during the holidey", Wii U not?
Wii U sold nearly 500,000 during the holidey 2013, that is more than double of the PS4 sales in the holiday 2014... and even the holiday 2014, the sales between Wii U and PS4 is equal, PS4 won just the week of the limited of Dragon Quest... also, Wii U outsold PS4 for all of summer, that is never happen with XBO, outsold by PS4 by 60,000 in the Titanfall month and by 70,000 in the pricedrop month...
IMO, i don't want say that Wii U have more possibility to outsold PS4 than XBO, but fuck, say that Wii U have not chance and XBO yes?
Nope, just nope...
