Yeah, if we look at the 5 biggest Japanese franchises (in no order):
Pokemon
Super Mario
Dragon Quest
Monster Hunter
Final Fantasy
Well, two of them are Nintendo first party titles and another two of them only appear on Nintendo consoles right now. Final Fantasy is more on the Sony side but it's a lot smaller these days than the other four franchises listed. Nintendo's ambitions are pretty obvious, they had no success getting mainline Final Fantasy games so far and in the west they still couldn't get Rockstar to publish mainline GTA games on their consoles but the direction is clear.
