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

Look above, prof laid it out nicely for you.
But I'm surprised Nintendo fans here even debate this, i thought they would readily admit this themselves. Look at the Wii's library compared to the gamecubes ...
I imagin a lot of those gamecube owners are very unhappy this gen, and I doubt the Wii pulled many core gamers from the PS2 and Xbox crowd.

Smh you didn't even address his points. Prof was talking about a barometer for trad gamer count. This has nothing to do with it, since all games compete for purchase your argument is junk. Halo versus what? Gears, cod? Smash versus what? Mario kart, galaxy, etc. etc. the competition point is so bad...
ALL games compete, hence why the Other M example was valid, if you read it :S nobody wanted it, so it did not sell. If what gou were saying were true, it would have sold regardless, yet it didn't happen and that's why I politely but strongly disagree.
