Japanese games statistician, Media Create, has released figures for the 500 best selling software titles in 2007 in Japan, showing just how well Nintendo platforms dominated* the market.
In the Top 30 titles, only four games are not on either the Wii or DS (Media Create charts are split into individual stock keeping units (SKUs)). Those four are split between the PSP and PS2 - the Xbox 360 and PS3 don't feature.
Unsurprisingly, Wii Sports is the top title with nearly two million sales in 2007, followed by Wii Play with a little over one and a half million.
If you want to see an Xbox 360 title in the list, you have to go all the way down to Number 171, where you'll find Namco Bandai's Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. The mighty Halo 3 only just sneaks into the Top 200, picking up Number 197.
The PS3 fares better, making its first appearance at Number 36 with Sony's own Hot Shots Golf 5.

Thats mighty impressive stuff,

each DS sold makes profit
every Nintendo game made this gen has sold and made profit
and each 3rd party Wii/DS game made makes Nintendo profit.
