Or maybe Nintendo has a better understanding of what will actually sell than the majority of 3rd parties in Japan ?

I think all third party devs have a good understanding that Nintendo games will sell just as much as Nintendo does. For example every time a Mario Kart or an Animal Crossing comes out, they and everyone else knows they will sell millions.

So why doesn't a third party dev release Mario Kart or Animal Crossing? The answer should be obvious.

Even if they copied it and used their own characters, their IP simply wouldn't sell. One proof of that is Playstation All Stars Battle Royale or Crash Racing.
