Only if the hd model was realeased during 2009/2010 as a super wii (counterpart to ps3 slim and xbox 360 slim).
Everyone seems to forget that the wii was a short term success and a long term failure. Every single 3rd party gradually transitioned to the other 2 consoles, and Nintendo did absolutely nothing about it. This is why the wii u failed. It had absolutely zero momentum as everyone else is more preoccupied with what's being released by playstation or xbox.
Had Nintendo released an hd console with an actual controller during 2010, they could have stopped the 3rd party migration and maintained a momentum that the ps3/ps4 could not catch up to
