I don't get your reasoning with Destiny. "I don't think FPS could make it big on the next generation again".

There is literally no reason to think that. It was the biggest genre of the last gen and it is currently the biggest genre of this gen (Call of Duty is the best selling next gen game; Killzone is the best selling PS4 exclusive and Titanfall is looking to do the same for Xbox One), and it will continue being the most popular genre for quite some time on consoles.

Furthermore, the game is being developed by Bungie and published by Activision, creators of one of the most successful video game franchises. With that being said, the marketing budget on this game is huge. This game will sell like gangbusters.

 

I think Watch_Dogs will be a huge hit on PS4. It will sell significantly less on Xbox One, PC and Wii U by comparison. This is because of the marketing that Watch Dogs has, where they only sometimes mention the other platforms. Back in November, there were people at my local gamestop who thought Watch_Dogs was a PS4 exclusive and I could not blame them. All the posters in my local store showed only the PS4 logo.

 

As for The Last Guardian, you would have to explain what a flop in that scenario is. Is a flop anything less than 3 million? 5 million? 10 million? You're putting TLG in the same boat as some of the most expensive games in the industry (Watch Dogs and Destiny). IMO, if it sells 2 million +, it is a huge financial success for that game.

Again, when people make these kinds of threads, I feel like they should explain what a flop means in context of the game. TLG  is not an expensive game and doesn't have to do big numbers to be a success.
