This one has always interested me.
Anakin did bring balance to the force, it was just misinterpreted by the Jedi. The Jedi were the overpowered faction at the time, so in order for one to bring balance to the force they rightfully had to join the dark side.
At the time of the Prequel Trilogy the Jedi were a large group, that pretty much held all the power in the galaxy.
The Sith were a back room organization that were in hiding and had very little influence or power.
By the end of those movies the force was balanced: you had Palpatine and Vader on the dark side, and Obi Wan and Yoda on the light side. A perfect balance.
The only reason the dark side truly took over is because after the Jedi lost all of their political power, and the mass numbers advantage the Jedi once held, both Yoda and Obi Wan gave up and went into hiding.
