Alright, so I took a look at VGC data for Nintendo systems, and made some estimates, it looks like the GBA had a much smaller Nintendo ratio, around probably 30%, made up for by the Gameboy with not quite 50%. The DS looks to be upwards of 40%, and the 3DS look to be upwards of 50%.

On the system side, I maintain that Gamecube looks like 40%, Wii looks close to 40%, while Wii U is ridiculous, I'd say it looks close to 70%! NES data is poorly tracked, and is missing games like Donkey Kong 3, the original Fire Emblem games, Famicom Wars, Urban Champion, and other notable decently selling IPs, but it's definitely upwards of 35%, so I'd say probably about 40% for it too. Super Nintendo was horrifically tracked, so I can't get a good read on that one, but I'd say at least 30%, maybe more, I'll go with 35%. N64 looks pretty dominated by Nintendo, almost as much as Wii U, so I'm guessing 60%

So that's:

My Nintendo Home console predictions

Console Publisher Ratio
NES   40%
SNES   35%
N64   60%
Gamecube   40%
Wii   40%
WiiU   70%
Home console average -->    47.5%

My Nintendo Portable console predictions

Console Publisher Ratio
GB   50%
GBA   30%
DS   40%
3DS   50%
Portable console average -->    42.5%

My combined (home and portable) Nintendo publisher ratio prediction:  45%


Sounds about right. I'm going with that.
