Actually it's 3 games. Against 11 on PS2, 1 (!!!) on GC, 4 on GBA and 1 on DS.

Not sure what happened to the GC fans in japan. Besides, a "reader" survey is hardly the place to draw conclusions over a whole population.

It's not about how many votes they got, its the average score of the votes, naturally, if it was just a vote there would be no Xbox games on that list, but it seems that those 7 people who bought Xbox in Japan actually enjoyed some of it's games.
