Why are so many people saying this is such good news for Nintendo? Granted, Sony and Nintendo are competitors but, really, since day one when Nintendo outlined their strategy for the Rev, Nintendo backed out of Sony and Microsoft's turf. The Wii isn't competing with the X-Box 360 nor is it competing with the Playstation 3. It's offering a totally different experience with a totally different demographic which is what Nintendo is betting on to make the Wii a major success.
The people who should be popping the champagne instead of Nintendo should be Microsoft. The X-Box 360 is a direct competitor to the Playstation 3 because both are offering the same experiences. Sony just shut themselves out of the second largest market in the world this Christmas season. Portions of the market who were interested in the powerful hardware of the Playstation 3 will probably get themselves something similar: an X-Box 360
