Not really a shift there other than the Wii U to the NSW, which has been as stated multiple times already by many people a big shift.
Oh and also the lack of Microsoft games charting at all.
Edit: Btw here is an example of the Media create top 500 (2007) when Nintendo had a dominant console.
215 x NDS
112x PS2
58x Wii
57x PSP
33x PS3
19x X360
6x GBA
Was there a big 3rd party shift back then too?
