MS literally handed them the market on a silver platter and the PS4 isn't even that far ahead of the XBO.

MS completely dominated Sony last gen in the US. That’s where a certain brand loyalty comes from. That they are losing on their home turf is still quite telling. 

^ this.
Theres also alot of people in the US, that wont buy a PS4, because its from a japanese company, and would buy a xbox simply because its american.
With the brand loyality from last gen, you dont expect a full landslide victory for PS4, even if its winning the gen.

In the same vaine, world wide, I think there's the oppersite effect also at play (for the PS4).
