Ia gree with you here. I am not saying it is likely. MS would have to do a lot of good calls, while Sony would have to make poor ones or simply be passive. We already saw PS4 outsell X1 on the US when it was 50 bucks more expensive during X1 deals. I also think that the situation is worse now. Two years ago they were losing NPD but not by a huge margin. The lack of exclusive content and the perception that it is an inferior product is doing a lot of damage and this year they are getting completely onslaughted in the US.
What I am saying is that it is possible to do it on the US. They lost most years by less than 15% there. However, it demands a lot of luck and adequate scenarios (like MS actually making good calls). It is different from the situation in EU or most of the world, where even if the aforementioned conditions they wouldn't catch up anyway. So the answer for the US is yes, they can do it. It's just extremely unlikely and, like you said, Sony would have to be completely idiotic for it to happen.
