Also if ps4 wins this month it will win the whole generation in the US

I think that's a forgone conclusion now. There's no way the XB1 is going to eat into the PS4s lead by 700k (in the US) as it did last year. With the best PS4 year coming up, that lead will be around 1.5m - 2m (perhaps even more) going into Christmas 2016. Surprisingly, the PS4 could actually widen that gap this Christmas and I didn't expect that to happen until next year. I expected the XB1 to make up around 200k - 300k this year. I can't see it happening.

Yeah the ps4 will just keep increasing the lead unless the x1 does what the ps3 did last gen.

I still can't bring myself to believe PS4 will win in Halo month. But it's becoming hard to deny that as being the greater possibility. While in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really make a difference, because even a big month for Xb one isn;t going to change things much. But PR-wise losing the USA in Halo month is rather disasterous.

PS4 could lose the next 3 months and would still be the clear winner in US at the end of the generation.

If ps4 lost november december and january then i would disagree with it winning the us by the end of the gen.

I meant only the holiday months, but still. Even if it lost the next 4 months. I expect a big Drop in US for X1 next year.

Well the line up next year for the x1 is pretty spread out so i would actually expect an increase.

For an Xb one this month to mean Xb one has a solid chance at coming back and winning the US this generation would require Xb one to win Oct by at least 50%. A narrower win than that means PS4 will be the most likely to win the generation. A close win means the "national mood" hasn't shifted back towards Xb one, it's just a one off Halo effect with things likely returning to PS4 pretty quickly.
