A large part would depend on when it launched. The 360 launched and was a decent enough upgrade to the Xbox. It had a year to itself and really good online. People still took a "Wait and see" approach because PS3 was showing off games like Heavenly Sword and Fight Night 3. Somewhere along the way, people realized that the Xbox 360 wasn't just another Dreamcast and was actually on par with PS3 and much cheaper.
With the Wii HD, would it launch a year early? Would it launch the same week as the PS3? Would it have comparable online? All signs point to "no". I mean I LOVE Nintendo and I even loved the Wii U but even that console was behind what the PS3 and 360 were offering 7-8 years earlier.
