When I actually think about it, yeah, they 100% are. Nintendo is one of the few companies I can think of that has had as much success as Apple, for arguably a longer time. The NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, GC flopped, Wii, Wii U flopped, Switch. Countless successful games. They have basically had an in-home brand advertisement world wide for >40 years. Even Apple doesn’t have that; they spent a long time as pretty much irrelevant from the mid 80s to 2000. Apple’s early success was confined to a relatively small market; Nintendo’s wasn’t. There are a lot of old people who don’t care about technology at all and only understand Apple in passing, but every console ever gets called a Nintendo by them.
