I'm not sure. I think they would be, but it's hard to say. Their internal studios would be better at HD development, for sure. 3rd parties would have been more willing to put their (non-casual) games on the Wii, which would have helped keep some hardcore gamers on Nintendo's side. But more power would have led to a higher price, which probably would have led to fewer sales among casual gamers. Would the effect of the extra 3rd-party games have made up for the difference? Maybe, though it should be noted that the Gamecube had plenty of power and 3rd-party games, and it still wound up in 3rd place.
