I think there are several factors to account for the differences in cube verses wii sales not mentioned.

The Wii's price relative to it's competition at launch and the timing of that launch. It launched so far below the price of the competition at a time when the economy of the world was/is going to crap, which made it the default choice for anyone for whom money is a factor (basically everyone in a economy like this). The cube did not have these advantages.

The rest of the Wii sales are just Nintendo riding on the momentum of the wave it's competition let it create.
