yes, it's completely backhanded when a company reccomends BUYING a different product :D
I think it's more likely that these statements of praise for Nintendo come from what's happening now with DS and that Wii will mirror it.
that, and with the recent strong rumor of Nintendo running their software on dev kits at E3 and telling us that more hardware surprises are on the horizon, i think they know what kind of aces nintendo has in store. Take all of this with the huge support for the system, the confirmed physics processor and other goodies, you start to get the sense of a massive take-over but in a new way, not a monopoly, but a symbiosis. I think the companies got toegther and discussed a business model for everyone, one that isn't about who can rule the industry but how to find a balance and stay in top demand across all camps. Time will tell though.
