Double of instal base does not mean equal exactly double of sales of some game, but sales would definitely be noticeably better with twice bigger instal base. So I really dont see point of comparing sales of some game where one has twice bigger instal base.

Define noticeably better (and of course ignore that the other sw launched on a holiday and had 3x the time to sell). And while at that comprove your thesis instead of just throwing assumptions. Halo 3 sold 50% more than Halo 4 and was in less than half of that userbase, sold 3x more than Halo 5 and were in a 1/3 of the userbase... so how noticeably better would it done with the other userbase? Perhaps nothing?

PS3 and Xbox360 has similar instal base, PS4 has double instal base over XB1. Having double instal base definitely mean much more than having 1.5 year lead in sales for some game.

No... PS3 at first had 0 HW versus what X360 already had from 1,5 year ww advantage and it took quite some years for the userbase to be similar.

 

To define "Noticeably better", at least 50% better sales, theoretically it could 100% better sales.

Like I wrote,  I really dont see point of comparing sales of 2 games on two platforms where one has twice bigger instal base.

I guess I'm the only one not impressed by both these franchises' sales. They both haven't even outsold Splatoon yet, let alone Mario Kart 8. And that's on one of the worst selling home consoles.

Splatoon and MK8 are selling on a console with a userbase composed almost exclusively of people who'd buy anything as long as it's made by Nintendo.

Relly!? Than look at sales of Mario Tennis, Amiibo Festival, Kirby and for instance Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, reality is that great Nintendo games have great sales. And Splatoon having better sales than Smash Bros definitely telling something.
