I certainly don't either. Would be awesome if someone did (hint hint). It just seems unsatisfying to look at ten games, especially when we all know about the big discrepancy between Nintendo's big first party sellers and Sony's. If fact, I think I've even seen those top ten lists in a post about how good Nintendo is at creating huge hits even on low-selling consoles.

Well, Nintendo dominating their platforms seems like a chicken and egg scenario... what comes first, Nintendo domination or mediocre 3rd party support?  On FC and SFC there at least seemed to be a good mix between the Nintendo stuff and games from Enix, Namco, Hudson, Bandai, Square, Capcom, etc.  Sony certainly has never had the sort of presence Nintendo did even on FC/SFC, but until Sony came in, 1st parties never had such a weak software outing comparably either; Sega, SNK and Hudson also "dominated" their platforms comparably.  Nintendo's wasn't the odd one out, Sony really was (though that's changed too with Microsoft).

I would say N64 at least likely had somewhat of an unfair advantage in regards to it's top ten, due to having so many fewer releases, would could help concentrate sales.  The other platforms all had many, many more games it seems like.
