Looking at those release lists one could think that Nintendo systems are the worst selling ones in Nippon.

Sure, but look at the substance of those lists, not just the numbers.  The HD twins are loaded with games made by the west and/or for the west, while PSP is drowning is lowbudget ADV shovelware aimed at the Aikhabara Otaku.  If we take both those niches out of the equation (and edutainment/slots/board/non-games too), then we're left with...

I don't get your point. Now that you've removed those niches, the DS and Wii release lists are still the shorter ones. Not by as much as before, but still notably shorter than the ones of their respective competitor's.

Well sure, but Wii's always been a 3rd party wasteland and DS is getting it successor in Q1.  My revised list was just to point out the disparity really is not as extreme as the pure numbers make it look... PS3/360/PSP are getting a lot of stuff that appeals to hardcore niches and pretty much no one else, but the more "general" support is more evenly distributed.

You can bet that 3DS list is going to massively bulk up in a few weeks too...
