You’re missing a few titles that are coming for XB, PS2, and PSP that aren’t coming for the Nintendo GC or GBA: MVP Baseball 2005 and NBA Live 2006. Let’s add those up and do some comparisons.
XB, PS2: 15, GC: 7. That’s a 2 to 1 ratio.
PSP: 8, GBA 4. Another 2 to 1 ratio.
Also, there are several games coming for XBox 360 not on your list, such as Madden, Tiger Woods, FIFA, NBA Live, Burnout 3 to name a few.
Considering that when this generation began EA was fully behind the Gamecube and GBA and now we see the above, I don’t think you can spin it positively in Nintendo’s favor.
