It's impossible to any manufacturer to be dominat in marketshare and 3rd party influence like Nintendo of '80 just because of the dimension of that market compared to that of nowadays.
Nintendo monopoly was a good thing in '80 because console gaming needed it at that time for historic reasons.
However if you analyze Nintendo of nowadays with Nintendo of '80 you can see that Iwata's Nintendo is more powerful lthought it will NEVER achieve 90 - 95 % of marketshare.
