Short term yes, long term no.

Thinking the same here.

Good to know. I think that in general games on the twins are much more frontloaded than Nintendo games. A good example is Watch Dogs versus MK8. I feel that MK8 will outsell at leas the PS4 version of Watch Dogs over time, but right now the opposite is true on the short term.

WD PS4

MK8

your comparing a established exclusive game vs a new ip non exclusive game, i think you should count all the watch dogs on all systems for this comparison.

The OP is about an established exclusive game (Smash) vs a new IP non-exclusive game (Destiny on Xbox).

I don't need to change anything.

You do realize that Destiny is a new IP non-exclusive game as well, right?  I think Destiny will smash smash in sales, but we'll have to see.
