Bungie being a former Microsoft developer helped increase Xbox one sales, Sony needed the advertising to win over those who like:

1. FPS's which overwhelming did better on previous gen hardware for Microsoft than Sony
2. Bungie which made games exclusively for Xbox 360 prior gen.

for the rest of the games you outlined, the Microsoft boost will be insignificant and will represent more Watch Dog percentages than Destiny

 

Don't be so sure, Microsoft has exclusive marketing will mltiple multiplats this year and next such as Assasin's Creed Unity, Dragon Age Inquizition, Call of Duty, and Fiffa 15.

These multiplats are bound to raise X1 hardware, just like madden 15 and Destiny did.

I know a lot of people here seem to think that nobody would buy an X1 for multiplats, but believe me, here in the US people do.

People will go wherever their friends are, and if thier friends are still on the Xbox, then thats where they will go.

The Xbox and PS4 came out in November.  We have enough time and enough software sales to know what people's genearal buying habits are going to be.  Microsoft had exclusive marketing on Madden and it still sold more on the PS4, so will all the games you listed.   People need to realize that in the markets that the PS3 got crushed in (mainly the NA and UK) the PS4's marketshare is no longer 22%.  Will the One get software boosts from upcoming releases, yes, but knowing Microsoft they will come in conjuction with something else, like getting said game for free.

As for your friends comments, sales of the console say otherwise.
