Yes and maybe
The destiny bundle has charted similar numbers to the ps4, so it would make sense that a decent % of those are offset sales If the bundle didn't exist, not every bundle preorder would become a current sale though, and it's impossible to know the true split. I'd guess it nerfed the current numbers by 15% or so, but is a net positive overall with huge numbers coming in September.
Halo will either get some traction or get trampled underfoot of destiny as this year it's just rehashes. Ditto tlou HD. They also run the risk of the titanfall effect : selling strong to current owners, but not bringing tons of new people onboard.
