Anyway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_Entertainment_System_games

List by year, almost everything released prior to 1987 was from Japan. Only in that year did Western support arise and that was mostly start ups like Acclaim.

You do realize that could be in part because 90% of the software development market were Japanese develoeprs?

The crash of 1983 put most western develoeprs off from console support and geared their efforts toward PC and PC game consoles like the Commodore.   In Europe back in the 80's  PC and PC game consoles were the big item.  Regular game consoles didn't catch on for a while.

But as the popularity (and more importantly the commercial viability) of the NES proved itself, the western developer support followed.

There was a large Western industry, yes it was in turmoil but as you say they ultimately chose PC above NES, which is precisely my point, that in every circumstance the existant industry has failed to support Nintendo.

Of all those only Activision and eventually EA made games for it, but when they could they supported Sega more. Every other Western developer that developed for NES was a start up who made their names on NES, the vast majority of which happened many years after the NES was a runaway success.

Even the major Japanese supporters were largely either start-ups like Capcom or existant companies from other industries like Konami (which only started producing games in 1982).
