As both are ~12 weeks old, there's a much higher chance (probably 75%) that they'll end up good friends and probably a further 15% chance they'll tolerate each other without fighting. I'll take a 1 in 10 that they wont get on at all.
First signs are already positive in the 3 introductions they've had since yesterday.
Older cats, however, have a much lower chance of accepting another cat as they're much more territorial. Having said this, it totally depends on the cats.
We had a single cat for ~7 years, when i was young, before we got another cat and they ended up good friends.

Interesting fact: that cat is actually jumping backwards.
@Soul - this is something that comes up in our house a lot: does Pip need a little playmate. We've read contradictory stuff about it. Current thinking Chez Sparkes is that there's too much of a risk that they won't get on. When we have a house with a catflap and a garden then we'll risk it for a biscuit and get ALL THE CATS.
