Paradox: Next console generation will probably be "the last generation"

Which is exactly the point I'm making.

You realize the same can be said about the HD consoles? What were the last sales of the main Halo games? I'll help: Reach 8.80m. Halo 3: 11.45m.

It's not so far away from Brawl's 10.89m. So, we can see that since both games are a good indicator of the true gamers (lots of casuals buy COD and Kinect they are not good barometers), and since both have very similar sales, the proper assumption or oracle is to say that both the Nintendo and Microsoft gamer bases are quite similar.

Nuff said?

No, not even close. Halo has a lot of competition, Nintendo first party games get a free ride nearly every gen.

Nobody competes with them because no-one is able to. It's easy to at least try to replicate Halo's appeal (though few enough have succeeded in the attempt). One also has to consider the concept that if people aren't interested in a game, they simply do not buy it, so that game's sales are usually determined on their own merits and not on the presence or absence of direct competitors. Many Nintendo games stand alone in their appeal, certainly, but that does not account for the sales of those series that sell well
