I disagree, after witnessing the Wii generation.

I am genuinely interested to read about examples of third parties harnessing the Wii's power better than Nintendo.

RARE harnessed the N64's power better than Nintendo.

Factor 5 harnessed the Gamecube's power better than Nintendo.

Shin'en harnessed the Wii's power better than Nintendo.

No. You are right about Rare and Factor 5 but Shin'en managed to harness its power to a level that was on par with some of Nintendo's games, not better.

I do believe that Shin'en was the best 3rd party dev for the system though.

I haven't played any Nintendo games on Wii that match the material effects Shin'en pulled off in Jett Rocket for surfaces like water, metal, and ice. Not to mention the game also did dynamic global lighting, soft shadowing, and a host of other effects while running at 60fps.
