Define "console" here. The GameCube was underperforming, but Nintendo was dominating the handheld market with both the Game Boy Advance and the DS. I'm not sure a similarly underperforming Wii would have doomed the company, but I suspect it may have led Nintendo to try a crossover style handheld/set-top hybrid like the Switch a generation early.
Yeah, GBA was a monopoly. They may have given up on the home console business but I don't think their handhelds would've gone anywhere and we probably still would have ended up with the Switch regardless.
