Well, on Wii U they didn't release a Zelda game within the first years (but it wouldn't have helped the system though). During the Wii era they moved more SKUs with Wii Sports and Wii Fit than Mario & Zelda, but usually your mentioned pattern is correct for any new Nintendo system. I mean, it's obvious to release your system sellers quite soon to move some units, because a large install base is the key for selling software.
On the other hand, Sony doesn't seem to have such a concept.
