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

I'm Glad the Wii what it was. Low cost to develop for. It gave us some games companies would not have done otherwise. Stood out Wii but would be lost in the crowd on PS2. Madworld. Zak & Wiki. Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Red Steel 2. No More Heroes. Deblob. 

For me No More Heroes and Madworld stand out. While there was a HD port to PS3, it was not done by Suda and co. He was not a fan and modern HD versions of the game are the Wii version. That PS3 game is inferior anyway except for visuals. Killer is Dead. Anarchy Reigns. Lolipop Chainsaw. Similar kinds of games on HD consoles got lost in the shuffle. I think fewer bought them there than games like that on Wii.  HD console crowd was too busy hating Asia at the time.
