Well saying they are the best is a matter of opinion. However, I don't think there is anyone out there than can deny the respect they have gained for their constant flow of amazing games and well supported properties. I mean this is the house that have brought you Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Pokemon... some of the best selling and best acclaimed franchises alive.
To me, I would probably consider them the best and for a very simple reason. For over 25 years they have delivered many new and unique franchises one after the other while never taking a break. They have also supported and continued these great franchises so that even the oldest of followers still have a home with them. I think that's just something to be admired. Someone that keeps looking to the future but also remembers how they got there.
