Regardless of if VGC estimates are out or not, when Titanfall drops Sony can kiss goodbye to US the same way Gears Of War did for 360. Then Halo 5 end of the year? US I expect Microsoft to be comfortable come Xmas 2014.
UK is the same. FPS are very popular in UK. And Sony doesnt have UK by any length of a landslide. Titanfall will tilt it back to Microsoft. Yes, PS4 is lacking on killer apps. At least till The Order 1886 hits. Driveclub will bomb hard and meta around 60.
While Titnafall metas around 95.
Hey its my opinion. But I think I'll be right. And 2016 will be hard for many to swallow when Cloud processing really takes off.

Im gonna give you another eh here.
Titanfall is releasing on 2 other platforms. One of these platforms has a dedicated, FPS loving userbase of over 80 Million and the other platform is the PC. Titanfall is gonna give the One a nice boost and all that, but its not gonna be anything like Gears of War.
Do you remember the Gears hype? It was touted as the first real "next gen" game on everything. It released on Xbox 360 at a time when PS3 wasnt even released in the West. It had NO next gen competition at all and it blew everything away that came before it. It was an actual Xbox 360 exclusive, not a multiplat and the 360 was at the time, the market leader of the 7th generation. When the PS3 released a week later, Gears of War blew away EVERYTHING on PS3 for the next 12 Months or so. This isnt gonna happen with Titanfall and PS4 because the PS4 has so many advantages that the PS3 didnt back then.
Halo will give the One the boost it needs, I just really think people are overestimating the impact of Titanfall.

If Titanfall does really well on the 360, I would expect Microsoft to go after exclusive rights on the sequel as well (be it full, or timed release). After all, that's what they do is throw money at things...
At that point, people looking for the next installment will have to move to ONE (or PC).

I am sure Titanfall devs are eager to release (after 1 year) Titanfall 2 on PS4.
And Microsoft probably already tried to buy exclusive rights on the sequels (or the entire franchise). I am sure that some at Respawn already regret their 1 year exclusive with Microsoft considering the launch of the 2 systems. They must have seen that COD and BF4 shooters are already selling better on PS4.
For some devs, the job is not only about money. Some really want that the most gamers play/pay their games. Where the money comes from is important for some, coming from gamers meaning better recognition, more potential gaming awards etc.
