Smash Bros. near certainly will perform better (Wii U), and X has a good chance.

Destiny, Far Cry 3, Dragon Age and some other smaller yet to be revealed game may beat it as well.

I very much doubt that. The original barely managed it; the sequel went badly in the wrong direction, and reviewers are being much harsher this gen.

Probably not, but I expect it to be in the high 80s range. So there's a slim chance of it managing it (stranger things have happened!)
