Nintendo would still release new consoles. Even if hypothetically PC gaming never caught on and 3D graphics cards were never widely adopted. Even if there was no other competition in the console market. A company can only sell so much of a product before it reaches a ceiling. Thus, a new console would be released to sell to those who already bought the previous console. So even in an imaginary world where there's only a Nintendo monopoly in gaming, said world would only be behind a generation or two. After all, Microsoft constantly released new versions of Windows with a virtual monopoly.
