That's not accurate to digital stores. Not even close. Sure it works until about 2013 as a scale but after '08 ish, the graph should increase every year and go some what exponential taking into account Nintendo Eshop, PSN, Steam and Xbox live. Might even me more than 20k the last few years.

If you can give me more on point source go on. I can't find other list for the games over the years that is proven more than wikipedia on the web with included info for the digital ones as well. If there is source with more legit info, I will edit the chart right away.

Idk, it'd be an insane task to track all those games. There is info on what is added to Steam yearly but everything else, idk where you'd find the figures. I can't find any info on the Eshop but from what I see it's a LOT being added. This problem gets even harder to track cause what games on Eshop are duplicates of Steam games. A lotta the indies that make it to Switch were on steam first and if they do well on Switch they tend to make it to PS/Xbox. I'd say you have an impossible task on your hands. You could probably do this for one console at a time quite easily bit the ven diagram of everything that crosses over and eliminating those over the course of 30 plus years would be literally quite impossible I'd reckon. 

Edit: Steam would be the best bet to track as it would overlap with the consoles the most but there is a lotta shovel ware on there that makes for one hell of an inflated number but games are games. Where do you draw the line? Do you count mobile games too? This is actually fascinating, I'd like to see it done.
