The in-depth 180-page report was compiled by surveying almost 2,000 video game professionals from North America and beyond who read Gamasutra.com or subscribe to Game Developer magazine.

Overall, 70% of those replying are making games on the PC or Mac, with 43% creating for console and 28% for web platforms - with just 16% making games for handheld platforms such as the DS or PSP.

Of the surveyed console developers, which represent a notable cross-section of the entire industry, 73% are creating games for Xbox 360, 58% for the PlayStation 3, and 42% for the Wii - with 15% still creating games for the PlayStation 2

This implies that the greatest amount of Western console developers by sheer numbers are creating games for Microsoft's console - but due to team size differences, this doesn't necessarily imply that more games will appear on the Xbox 360 than other consoles.

 

Doesn't the last sentence make this whore thread irrelevant?

It's just statistical precentages in North America.  Reading between the lines, you can tell that it's just statistics that doesn't equate to the reality of the big picture.  But the last statement clarifies as such.
