No it wouldn't have, that's the point. Its not a simple matter of 'if you built it, they will come'. Third parties have made it clear, even if Nintendo is the LEADER of the industry, they would rather make games for other consoles, handhelds, PC, anything else than a Nintendo console. Heck, they even made a point to make games for the DS early on and skip the Wii. Even if the Wii had gone 'HD', many if not most of the games we saw today would have alienated themselves from the system. You think GTAIV would have gone to the Wii? Or MGS4? Grand Turismo? Assassins Creed? Uncharted? Yeah right.
If the Wii would have went 'HD' or focused on graphics or basically ANYTHING besides what it did, Nintendo would probably be in the same position it was with the GameCube last gen, which was a console that focused on graphics and trying to win over third parties. Instead, they're leading the industry in marketshare and profits...but with no third party support. Because third parties never gave them any real support. Not in the beginning of this gen and not even now in 2009.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
