I'd say Smash, though the extra 10 days of Halo MCC might trump it for november, will probably be a very tough call. LBP is a much smaller franchise than the other 2, so think it will come last even though the PS4 has a much larger install base.

Why is the 10 days of Halo a factor but not the Xbox One install base compared to Wii U's?

That's because Smash Bros has a much higher attach rate compared to halo, roughly equalising both games  on these effects. Also, Halo MCC has many competing shooters which might lower early sales (especially CoD, which comes out one week earlier) while Smash has basically no concurrent at all.

edit: also, the difference of their install base is there but it ain't gigantic (2.9 to 3.55 millions according to the last update)

False. Halo 4, Reach, and 3 all have higher attach rates than Smash Bros Brawl.

There's another thing you didn't bother to look up.
