Except that they don't. Which is why games like Mario, Pokemon, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Star Fox, Wii Series, etc. all have varying sales patterns. Nintendo has a ton of variety in its IPs, and not every series appeals to the people that buy Nintendo consoles.

Obviosly some is more popular than the other.  But yeah in general i do believe that its a huge portion of the fanbase.  

And id argue they dont have a wide variaty outside the family friendly market.

Ur statement still doesn't make sense. Of course the ones that share a genre or characters probably share the same audience. Various Mario titles and games like Mario/Kirby/Donkey Kong probably attract many of the same crowd. But to say a game like Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime or Xenoblade has the same audience as Mario is just rediculous, yes there is probably an overlap to a certain degree, for example I enjoy all of those games listed above but that's quite a big generalization to say they all have the same fanbase.
