no (Destiny)

Two reasons.

1. It's a fools errand, Some small piece of content isn't going to hold off a major release and the player base dropping off to go play it. Trying to fight a multi million dollar marketing campaign is a fools errand. If Bungie wanted to they'd be better off waiting till people are getting bored with it, then dropping some content.

2. It's not that useful. People can leave destiny and come back. Destiny is actually doing pretty well in terms of player base numbers (A year out daily uniques in just the crucible was up around Halo3/Reach Numbers). People ebb and flow.

3. The division offers something pretty different, I think people will come for the darkness zone and real world setting, but those who want decent gun play and encounter design and classic PVP will stay with destiny.

I dunno, the videos of the division are really bland, but I hear some really positive impressions from those in the alpha.
