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. 

I am making one about every single console now .. it will be uploaded to the original post soon.

And wikipedia does not tell if those games are mobile, console, pc or all. but since it's page for the videogames in general I think is for all. Digital releases may not be included, but they are even harder to find since there is delisted games all over the time, there is overlapping across the platforms as you mentioned, and also there is many games that are both released digitally and physically. So the best I can do is the info I can get from wikipedia.
