COD5 looks like it will go the way of COD3. COD2 and 4 are the daddies of the online COD world. The others you mention only Halo 3 and potentially TF2 although this does not appear to have happened on the consoles will get that online loving feeling and the necessary community and clan love they need.
Bioshock also does not seem to met the requirement and I will reserve judgement on Mass Effect not being very familar with that game.
AC may be selling well but this does appear to be because of any fantastic online gameplay rather good marketing and the single player game so I fully expect AC to drop off in rather the normal traditionally way.
So in reallity relatively few games get the clan love that is needed for the prolonged trickle sale effect, GOW has it and so does COD4.
GOW even with the current crop of competition is still hugely popular online and because of that still genereates good sales even 1 year on.
