It would probably have sold 8-11 million total, so a little worse. At that point in time Nintendo had no appeal among the core gamer market, besides hardcore Nintendo fans. How would they have marketed the system to people who were already on the PS or Xbox train? They wouldn't be able to. Besides, the system would be more expensive, which would just hurt it more, and the novelty factor would be gone. Parents would still look at 3DS as the better option.
On the positive side, it would probably have more third party support, like with the Gamecube, but it would not have made much difference, it would still not have similar support to the competitors.
