Key word there being "media." And by "Titanfall will destroy Watch Dogs," I hope you're limiting yourself to just the XBO port of WD. Titanfall is an online-only title exclusive to XBO (for next-gen anyway), which may negatively affect its commercial viability. I'm not saying it won't do well, but since most console gamers don't play online (only about a third of 360 owners have XBL Gold), that by itself could prove to be a huge limiting factor. Meanwhile, Watch Dogs is a multiplatform title with a strong single-player component (like most games in its genre) whose PS4 port looks to be trending far ahead of the XBO port. For example, on Amazon, the XBO version of WD has been consistently trailing far behind the PS4 version. And since you're using VGC's preorder numbers as an accurate tally, Watch Dogs is already sitting at nearly 231k for both next-gen versions combined. Of those, nearly 144k are for the PS4 version, while only 87k are for the XBO version. While the XBO version of Watch Dogs isn't that far ahead of the XBO's exclusives in VGC's list, when combined with the PS4 version it completely outclasses any system exclusive except for Killzone.

Considering the PS4 and XBO will both have relatively small user bases (the 360 and PS3 both had under 4 million units sold by the June 30 following their launches), both Titanfall and Watch Dogs will likely have relatively modest launches, starting off with perhaps a few hundred thousand copies each on their first week. By the end of 2014, I think Titanfall will probably compare favorably to Gears of War, which sold about 3 million copies in 2006; it's coming out in spring while Gears had a November launch, which gives it a few extra months of sales before the 2014 holidays, but again the fact that it's online-only could hamper sales by a non-trivial degree; it might have very weak legs, with sales dropping off rapidly after 2014. It is an FPS, though, which typically do very well on Xbox systems. I suspect Watch Dogs will do well, perhaps performing similarly to the next-gen versions of Assassin's Creed IV if not more so due to the fact that it's starting off on a user base that will likely be around 10 million total by the end of June. It also has the advantage of being multiplatform. I think by the end of 2014 Titanfall will be somewhere between 3 to 4 million copies, with Watch Dogs about a million ahead of that. Titanfall will probably do better than either port of Watch Dogs, but collectively all versions of Watch Dogs will likely be the sales leader.

I suppose you're right. More than marketing, it's a punt in the right direction, away from competition and not towards it. Only thing that we really know of hanging out in Q2 next year that's big (on any platform) is likely to be Mario Kart. Infamous to a lesser degree.
