IF the original Wii was equal in power to Xbox 360 would Nintendo now be in a better position?

Let's look at it: power similar to the 360 means the Wii would have supported HD. More power also means it would have outputted more heat, so the design would be affected by being bigger to control and it probably had made more noise. Also more power simply means a higher price. Higher than the X360, because Nintendo didn't sold the console at a loss and the controller was more expensive as the X360-controller. Not as expensive as the PS3 though.

So the results would be:
* lower initial sales because of higher pricepoint
* X360 would have had a much more attractive pricepoint in comparison
* lower sales because of bulkier design and more noise (not so much living room compatible)
* even less 3rd-party-sales (higher effort of game-development for HD)
* first-party game-drought (as we see on WiiU, result of higher effort of HD-development)
* a bit more longevity, because of comparable specs
* a bit more multiplats (but don't trust too much on it, on Gamecube the 3rd-party-support also wasn't great)

After all I think that would lead to:
* 50-70 million sold Wii (PS3 a bit higher, X360 would've probably won the gen)
* lesser sold games, because of smaller userbase and higher effort of game-development for HD that causes longer delays for the games
* a lot less profit for the games, as the effort of HD-development would've increased costs of the games while the sales would have been smaller

After all I think Nintendo would have barely survived the gen.
