Here's what happened.
Data (including system presence for each year) and more visualizations:

The game selection is based mainly on user ratings from gamefaqs and mobygames (about 20+ votes and 3/5+ or 7/10+ ratings), and to a lesser extent igdb, imdb (they have better data for the '90s onwards), lemon64 and lemonamiga. From the early ‘90s onwards I increased the rating requirement for these to about 3.75/5 or 7.5/10. Original release dates were used.
