The N64, GCN, Wii, and Wii U sold about 168 million consoles combined
In a hypothetical "alternate timeline" where Nintendo maintains their status as the defacto 3rd party platform as the NES and SNES, I think their next 4 systems would have done considerably better than that. So they lost a lot of sales here, also software sales probably would've been much higher too with more games overall being released.
Portables would be about the same, the seed for the Game Boy resurgence with Pokemon was already planted in 1996 so that would've just proceeded as it did, and they likely would've just held handheld dominance gen after gen too. Maybe they don't spike quite as high as 150 mill like the DS did, but I think they comfortably would've sold 100+ mill portables per gen.
