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.

You really shouldn't start talking about things that you cannot know. I am one of many vocal Nintendo fans on sites like this that considers the Gamecube to be Nintendo's worst home console. The Gamecube was that much of a dissapointment to me that I stopped gaming for over 2 years...
Any Nintendo console is defined by it's major franchise entries, and Metroid aside, every major series has been bettered on the Wii. Just look at Mario, the Gamecube's Sunshine is the SMB2 of 3D Mario games, meanwhile on the Wii we got the two Galaxy games and the return of 2D Mario to home consoles.
