No. Rumors, especially those related to the internet and video games, never die. They just get passed on from ignoramus to ignoramus.
That said, not a bad post. Your points are valid, though honestly I'd only heard qualms 5 and 6, and sort of 3, but due to quality, not simply because of being first party. Even so, this was all limited to just Nintendo, largely because Sony and MS lack the depth and bredth of Nintendo's quality franchises.
