What you observed is certainly true. Although a few weeks is a bit of an overstatement. I have recently measured my 96W tube with my Luxmeter, and found that it had lost 50% of its intensity in about eight months. So unless you really overkill from the start, you probably will have to look at replacing bulbs every eight months.
