I'm sorry but you are wrong. Unless you mean they are no longer in the same league as MS and Sony at this point.

They sell video game consoles and video games do they not? Sony and MS also sell video game consoles and video games do they not? Then they are competing directly.

Also, they are a business looking to make money just like every other company and therefore Nintendo competes with ANY other for profit business for consumers' disposable income. Doubly so with regards to MS and Sony's video game divisions.

Am I? @bold. Name it what you want to, they don't fight for the same audience.

@underlined. They sell video game consoles, but not to the same audience.

@italics. Sure, they also compete with Hagen, the animal food company.

I'll chime in on the main topic later - which is a fun one - but as far as not selling to the same audience, I strongly disagree. Consumers definitely cross shop along the Wal-Mart game console aisle,  and Sony and MS products are major competitors for Nintendo. I can guarantee that many, many potential Wii U buyers have considered the system in the past year, but chose an Xbox or PlayStation product instead due to games, image or friend influence.
