I would say FFXIII having a ~17% smaller first week than Final Fantasy XII would suggest that userbase is a factor, just not as big of a factor as some people think.

It really depends on the game.  Something with a more dedicated fanbase (FF, MGS, SSB) tends to get less of a lift or decline, but it hugely impact franchises which cater to a large mainstream audience (Mario, GT, GTA, etc).
