I think is simple, most people at launch only have the money to spent in 2 (max 3) games. Without including the Nintendo Land bundle people will go with these choices: SMBU, ZombiU and one other third game. It doesn't help that most launch games are ports but I think there are to many tittles for launch (second in history I believe), regardless of the ports. 

I'm taking a wild guess here, but maybe there's a little saturation in the quantity of launch games, thus the reason why the games have sold so little. I could be dead wrong in this though, it just a guess.

This is important. Short-run, people don't have money for more than a few games at launch. Long-run, launch games maybe tend to do better than others (see: Red Steel vs Red Steel 2), due to the fact that the console exists but few enough games to fill it out are there.

True but I think only ZombiU and Scribblenauts have chances to be such games. (and Just Dance 4 probably)

There are also lots of launch games that go unnoticed.

Blops2 surely won't do much better since it's going to have a sequel in 11 months already. The online community will move on and barely no one is going to buy it to play online.

AC3 ? Doesn't look like it, especially if there's another one next year.

Same goes for all sports games. NBA 2K13, Madden NFL 13 and FIFA 13.

Late ports (also unlikely): Batman, Darksiders, Ninja Gaiden 3, Mass Effect 3, Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

The sports games, probably. Batman's getting some solid advertising. NG3 has solid word-of-mouth

What you're likely to see is some of those games in the last line sell steadily at least until the next wave of Wii U software comes, Q2 next year, so they'll carve a segment out for themselves.
