I find this number absurd.
It just goes to show what happens when third parties refuse to acknowledge the undisputed leader of a console generation: Their software becomes marginalized by first party offerings...

"Roughly 70 percent of all videogame software and hardware sales in Japan are for Nintendo platforms at present"

Considering the wording, I believe this includes third-party title sales on Nintendo platforms as well.

you're right, my bad. serves me right for skimming.

Just to add to that though, the 3DS is establishing itself as a platform where 3rd parties can thrive.
