Not really.
Nintendo could have given us more power rather easily as I elaborated prior.

To eek out a decent share of the market, Nintendo have to offer something different enough that a PS4 doesn't render it superfluous. |
I am not asking for Nintendo to make a Playstation 4/Xbox One clone. I wouldn't want them to do that and nor have I suggested such a thing, they do their best when they are being different.
But that doesn't mean they cannot push power either, they aren't mutually exclusive.
The Wii would have still been possible if it had hardware that was competitive with the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, hell for all we know it might have actually given the console longer legs.
The Wii U would have still been possible if it had hardware that would have been competitive with the Xbox One and Playstation 4 and it might have given Nintendo more sales.
The Switch would still have been possible if it had hardware that was a step up from what it has currently, placing it closer to the Xbox one... Having the Dock actually augment the device could have been another approach.
