Nintendo accounts for somewhere around 45% of the total hardware sales, roughly 40% of the software is sold on their machines, and they personally publish somewhere around 15% of the software. Short and simple, they might account for around 25-30% of the revenue of the console handheld market, which would make the console handheld market revenue around 50 billion dollars. The PC has 8 billion in revenue, though (and that's not including MMOs monthly subscriptions). Considering that there are 5 consoles/handhelds, it's bigger than the smaller ones (PsP definitely, maybe Ps3 and possibly X360/DS now).

The Console software revenue is less than $20 billion, and probably closer to $15 billion. PC games revenue was estimated to be $13.1 billion in 2009, so it could be $14bln or more in 2010.
Although Nintendo's revenue was $15bln, it also accounts handheld software, handheld hardware, console hardware and accessories revenue, and probably some other stuff.
