No, without nintendo's somewhat unique ideas (these would be ''conditioned'') the 2nd game crash would have come a lot sooner. The gaming industry (i hate to use those words) needs nintendo more than they think, even if you are an ''android casual'' or a ''FPS/CoD casual'' or a PC gamer, i feel weird to say that we need nintendo, without nintendo (not like if they never existed, like if they became third party tomorrow) the videogame industry, videogames in general would be a lot different; it's something you can see for yourself right now if you check any anti/notverycloseto nintendo company. For real, see for yourself and then come and tell me you are proud of what you see... Is nintendo hardware what keeps nintendo software alive, and nintendo software is (or at least, it's a great part of) what keeps this industry alive.
