Not entirely.
I'm a Nintendo gamer, mostly, but I wouldn't have picked them as having the best games overall in 2011-2012. That transition period between Wii and Wii U was not good for their games line-up outside of a few gems, and the support for the 3DS didn't really kick into overdrive until 2013.
2014, though, was Nintendo's year as far as I'm concerned, partially because they were the only major who seemed to be releasing games of a pretty consistently excellent quality. ALL their major games were designed to work perfectly from day one, when they did DLC it was generous and never felt like they withheld content just to fleece more money from gamers, and whether or not their games were new IPs they always felt fresh and full of new ideas (Smash Bros. not so much, but it was so polished and packed with content that I didn't mind).
2015 looks to simply continue that trend in their case. I'd love to hope that Sony, MS and third parties are taking note but until they can all actually demonstrate that consistency of quality like they did during the previous generation, I've got to assume Nintendo will come out on top again.
