Well. If you look at it from a business angle it clearly worked — Nintendo is quite successful, both in hardware and software sales. It is highly speculative, but would they have followed the power race, they would've struggled to stand out. So yeah, in that regard it was good.
Was it good for the players? Depends on the player I think. A lot opted out of Nintendo, you have a lot of Nintendo kids who now play Playstation. But on the other hand a lot of players are strongly into the Nintendo ecosystem. As they opted out competing over graphics, they needed gameplay ideas to stay on top. So yeah, depending on your preferences in gaming it might differ.
