There is some truth in that.
Nintendo is good at what they do when it comes to their 1st/2nd party line-ups. Almost all Nintendo's titles are heavy hitters that can sell very well. Because of that, however, 3rd parties need to try even harder because they're competing with Nintendo for customers.
Microsoft has this to a small degree with their 2nd party line-ups and Halo, but otherwise it's not on the same level as Nintendo. Sony doesn't have it at all really so developers aren't really competing against the console owner game-wise as much as the other two platforms.
I think this is generally good for the industry though. Nintendo sets a pretty high bar for quality that I think more developers should aspire to.
