Casuals in US, and shooter fans will still support Xbox. Sony still can't figure out how to capture most of the casual market, so I think Xbox and Wii U still have some sales yet. If Sony manages to convince them to jump ship then we shall see some explosive sales for PS4 and nothing else.

What? Sony has always captured a lot of the casual market. You don't sell 100+ million consoles without owning the casual market. Looking at ps4 sales this not different this gen and casuals are very much on board with Sony, more so than with the other consoles I'd say. There's a lot of people out there who get a console just for CoD, Fifa, GTA and not much more.

I am talking Gen X and children. Despite Sony's brand and dominance they split it pretty evenly with Xbox and Nintendo brands in the US in recent years.

The people that buy CoD, Fifa, and GTA are fairly core as they buy more then the average or average attach rate. The casuals are the ones that buy 4 or less games Lifetime.
