That's because Smash Bros has a much higher attach rate compared to halo, roughly equalising both games on these effects. Also, Halo MCC has many competing shooters which might lower early sales (especially CoD, which comes out one week earlier) while Smash has basically no concurrent at all.
edit: also, the difference of their install base is there but it ain't gigantic (2.9 to 3.55 millions according to the last update)

False. Halo 4, Reach, and 3 all have higher attach rates than Smash Bros Brawl.
There's another thing you didn't bother to look up.
Halo>Smash> LBP.
As seen with Destiny, Halo has the potential to sell similar numbers but a little less imo. Halo is also the big exclusive for XB1, with no cross platform. If people are looking to buy something that is not for any other console, then this is it.
Smash is also the big exclusive except for Wii U this time. Same as above but lower install base, so lower sales.
LBP is cross platform so is not considered a big exclusive. The only thing that makes this slightly competitive is because we will count PS4+PS3. Also the install base will certainly help. LBP is all legs though, it might make it to the December NPD.
As much as I enjoy LBP, I don't think it has much of a chance here. Not against the other juggernauts.
Lol, LBP doesn't stand a chance. It's not a frontloaded series, and it's not a big franchise compared to Halo or SSB.
Halo>Smash>LBP.
Whether the 3DS version for Smash already being out is a pro or a con still remains to be seen, I think.

Yes and no.
Brawl actually didn't very well for it's install base, mostly because it got criticised back then for the subspace emissary (ironically, considering how well liked it is by now) and bad balancing, shying competitive players away. Smash Wii U doesn't seem to have this problem, so I'm pretty sure the attach rate of this console's Smash will be closer to Melee on the Gamecube than Brawl on the Wii. And that game had undeniably a better attach rate than any Halo on the Xbox 360.
Also, casual gamers wo didn't play any more complex games inflated the sales of the Wii, thus further lowering the attach rate of brawl.
And, like I said in the first post, It will be a very close call and I'm not saying that it would not be possible that my prediction is wrong.
How is being the only exclusive a pro for LBP? And how is LBP in competition with any of the games you mentioned?
