In topics like these whichever fans visits your post most is the way the vote talley will sway.. IE.. visited by mostly Wii fans.. Xbox 360.. or PS3 ..

What i find hilarious is Sony is voted best, yet if they are the best how come they are last place in game sales ?  their console has been nearly the same price as 360 for over a year and they even have a bluray player.. their games don't cost any significant amount more then 360's or Wii's do they ?  My objective question if Sony games are so good how come people arent flocking to buy them when price isnt a issue..  I think this just goes back to what I said above.. if you have a poll on welfare and more democrats visit you're poll you're gonna get a one sided story on welfare.. but the real story is where people put their wallets and cash.. and thats more true with the PS3 and Xb 360 because they sell many of the best selling multi-platform games..

You do realize this poll is about first party studios, and it isn't about sales.  So I'm not sure why you are bringing up overall software sales.  Even then, looking at Microsoft published games, they no longer have (or never had) Bungie, Ensemble, Bizarre Creations, Epic, Realtime Worlds, Team Ninja, Mistwalker, Remedy, Silicon Knights, iNiS, Screenlife, Zoe Mode, Triumph, Q Entertainment, From Software, Artoon, Blitz Games, also a Gearbox, Eden, and Rockstar games are listed for them as well (I guess they published them in one region).

So that brings the ~73m Microsoft published games down to ~16.2 million from current Microsoft Games Studios.

Halo 3 was 1st party though, the game was made while Bungie was still MS owned.

Sales are just another factor to consider, especially since the definition of "best" can be interpreted in a variety of ways.  Best selling?  Best scoring?  Best playing?  Best diversity?  Best accessibility?  Best innovations?  Best socially?  Lots of ways one could approach the question really...
