Er, no. Look at how Nintendo's big sequels (Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash Bros) have performed on GC vs Wii. A larger end userbase actually impacts larger series the most.
If you want a good comparison with GT, look at how Mingol has toppled in Japan this gen. It used to sell right in line with GT (1m+), now it's selling 400-500k on PS3/PSP.
Some franchises do hold better, particularly if they have more dedicated audiences. I think MGS and FF are good examples of that. But both MGS4 and FFXIII would've each sold well better if PS3 had the sort of userbase it's predecessors could boast about...
