Because its the popular brand in these regions and fans in these regions have the same false belief that Playstation fans had back in 2006, that people will just upgrade to what they know. Well the buying public is not as sheep like as people tend to think, im not saying the xbox wont carry on being the popular brand in these 2 regions, but its a new gen and MS need to fight for it as hard as last time, if they sit back thinking they have it sown up, it will slip through there fingers.

Well we're talking about the entire generation not just the launch window at launch price. Plus, if they enter agreements with cable companies, the price would be a lot less for the customer. It's not really just "to watch TV" it's to watch TV in a new and better way. People buy stuff for entertainment purposes all the time. People already buy games and consoles knowing they'll need a Live subscription. If the service is good enough, this will be no different.

Who's everyone?

My reasoning for believing that the Xbox brand will once again take the US market is because a lot of young gamers over there, grew up with it and the things you grew up with tends to have sentimental value as you grow older. So usually, you tend to divert to what is already known to you.

Yes, I know the Wii still leads the US but I do not believe it had a lasting impact as the 360 did. This is of course only my opinion, I meant no disrespect towards the people who thinks otherwise.

I think they will still win in US but not quite the same margin at this gen so we will see. Still expecting a larger margin in europe for ps4.

The USA is actually one of the least home brand centric countries in the world... as shown by our huge ass trade deficit.

Nobody in the US cares where anything is made outside union workers.
