I posted this in another thread, but I thought it fit well here.

Nintendo published titles in America, separated by year:

	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	Total
NES	18	8	9	9	7	12	1	1	3	3	71 (44)
SNES	5	8	6	11	6	5	2				43 (30)
N64	6	8	11	10	14	4					53 (35)
GC	4	8	11	12	11	4					50 (35)
Wii (Retail) (WiiWare)	3 0	13 0	8 7	8(+1) 5							32 (33) 12

The numbers in parathesis in the Total column are the total number of games after the fourth calender year.  This allows an easier comparison to the Wii.

Games are separated by calender year, mostly because it was just a lot easier to do it that way.  The fourth year for the Wii is 2009, and the unreleased game NSMB Wii is represented as (+1).  WiiWare for the fourth year could also grow.

I did this mostly for my own benefit, but figured this would be interesting enough to other people.  I just wanted to see how some of the claims in this thread would hold up.  These are all games, because I think the core/casual thing is mostly BS.

Is that including Japanese only games like Captain Rainbow or GC games like Doshin the Giant which never came out in America?

No, it does not include Japan only games.  Only titles released in America.
