Definitely yes. The platform holders have their share of play-it-safe titles. Nintendo, for instance, has Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and Pokemon. But Nintendo seems to go for a lot of "prestige" titles that are somewhat risky sales wise but round out the image of their consoles. Bayonetta, Astral Chain, and Dragon Quest XI S come to mind for this. The third parties each have their niches and stick with them, and several of them seem more interested in how to monetize their games rather than designing them for fun.
