Nintendo put a lot of work into the Wii with
1. Research
2. Dev & Testing
3. Getting Wii Sports - arguably the best demo ever created in place
4. Advertising it in unique ways that included roadshows etc
5. Following it up with strong software titles to ensure that it would remain selling whilst third parties came round.
Basically No - I cannot see any other company putting that much into the Wii to make sure it got off the ground. Even in this gen was a time that all of the competiton were floundering in the grey areas of backwards compatibility Nintendo dusted off their back catalogue and gave it a second life with Virtual Console.
