If it were a conventional system with a conventional controller, power equivalent to the PS4 & XBO, a strong online service equal to XBL and PSN, and had the full support of third parties, then yes, I think it would have done considerably better, and, in the U.S. at least, we could be seeing a close three-horse race here. It might even be dominating Japan, with sales at least double of what they've been. Europe would still remain PlayStation Country, though.

You know, I have my doubts about that.  I think it would require most of a generation to convince people that they offered the same kind of experiences as Microsoft and Sony.  The average consumer, I think, would go in with perceptions that would have to be changed with concrete examples.  Even if they did begin to match the others, Nintendo still has a reputation for changing their focus, which could also hurt them unless they put two strong console generations back-to-back.
