3. Nintendo makes the best games, period. I can only imagine that the ones pushing this idea either have very narrow interests or very little exposure. Nintendo makes fun, highly polished games, but they aren't the only ones, and many of those other fun, highly polished games have the depth and maturity (actually maturity, not M-rated, etc..) that Nintendo games often lack. I'm not saying that Nintendo needs depth and maturity, there's nothing wrong with what they make, but the lack of these does not make their games any better either. And maybe, every once in a while, when the moon is full, and the stars are aligned, they put out a mediocre title, or even a flat-out bad game.

So much incorrect assumption here.
I do not have narrow interests or little exposure. I enjoy everything from FPS games to platformers to racers, and I've owned and enjoyed non-Nintendo consoles in the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th gens.
And I yet I still hold that Nintendo make the best games in the industry bar none.

If you're saying you enjoy Nintendo games more than any other publishers in the industry, that's certainly fair. But "best" is an entirely different beast because quality is subjective, which was the point I was trying to make. Some people prefer games with more depth, or more complex mechanics, or a more mature or thought-provoking narrative, so to say one company, which specializes in games typically weaker in these categories, is "best" seems to be to be a very narrow view. It's like saying Pixar is better than Warner Brothers, despite the fact they make very different movies.

Quality is indeed subjective; hence it is my subjective view that Nintendo's games are the best in the industry, and I say that as someone with extensive experience in non-Nintendo games.

It's fair that that's your opinion. I just get an itch when I see absolutes applied to subjective views because it basically gives them the force of fact; there's no opportunity for middle ground.
When you say "Nintendo games," do you mean that collectively, or individually?
I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
