Most of Nintendo's big franchises are not on Wii U yet, basically just 2D Mario & 3D Mario.
The Wii Series are not big hitters. They are the Wii U equivelant of Brain Training/Nintendogs, games that sold very well in the 7th gen due to high interest from casual crowd and have huge drops this gen since that crowd has moved on to Smartphones/Tablets. These types of games have not been able to show any type of consistancy from one gen to the next so I dont think the can be considered big hitters.
Pikmin is a very niche franchise, its far from a big hitter but is a solid support title. Wind Waker HD is not a big hitter, its an updated port of a 10 year old game, again this is just a solid support title. Nintendo Land is a new series so there is no way of knowing if its a big hitter or not, most likely its a game that can sell 1-2 million without bundles so once again a solid support title.
In terms of big Nintendo franchises on Wii U, there is 2D/3D Mario and a few solid support titles. There is still Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, Smash Bros and an original Zelda to be released which are all series that have have sold over 5 million on numerous occasions and on multiple consoles. There are also still a ton of smaller support titles from Nintendo that could be released on Wii U, Paper Mario, Mario Party, Mario Sports, Metroid, Kirby, Fire Emblem, Star Fox, F-Zero, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon spinoffs, Punch-Out, Kid Icarus and others im probably missing.
The point is Nintendo still have a ton of games to release on Wii U in the next 2-3 years and 5 million is not out of the realm of possibility this year.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
