Was Nintendo right to opt out of the graphics arms race?

Probably. This strategy seems to have worked out pretty well for Nintendo. Having every console pursuit the same big-dick graphics model is pretty boring, so I appreciate the extra option Nintendo offer, even if that's not as appealing for myself.
I think the innovation is important too - whether it's the motion sensors on the Wii, or the consolidation of their handheld and console products through the Switch, these innovations have contributed to Nintendo's success.
