It was 100% the right decision, although Nintendo made the choice too soon and got lucky with the Wii gamble. Hardware has hardly been the limiting factor since the 7th gen, although hardware improvements have made it easier to create open world games and other games that didn't work out too well before. Anyway, it was the correct choice, because it creates a terrific advantage in terms of development costs. Of course increasing development costs must be hitting even Nintendo and will probably continue to do so, but Nintendo has more time to deal with it than the others.
