Well it's pretty obvious. Nintendo makes good games, and lots of them, so people buy them, and the third parties just get a smaller percentage by default. Nintendo also has the advantage of being the most familiar with their hardware and dev kits. In the end it doesn't matter for the DS anymore since the third parties still sell more volume with a cheaper production cost so they'll continue pumping out more titles for it now. The Wii, of course, is another story, at least for now. Looking at your numbers, I'd be more concerned with why Sony can't put out as many quality games themselves as Nintendo does, since I don't think the third party games are really inherently better or worse on either system, DS users just have Nintendo games in addition to choose from knowing Nintendo is a strong quality game brand, so if anything they're just getting more quality games.
