Nintendo said early on that they were not competing with Microsoft and Sony. They said that they were going to create an underhorsepowered innovation that would be compelling to gamers and non-gamers alike. Time has showb this statement to be at least half true. Regardless whether Nintendo acted like they were picking a fight with the other two, everyone's a little ticked at the little duo cube that could.

But wait...there's more.
I like where you are going with this Final-Fan. But can we take it a step further? Given the amazing amount of capital that both Sony and Microsoft have, couldn't they function on two fronts at once? Sony, of course, has already proven this with the PSP. Nintendo has with the DS. What if Nintendo was right? What if they have created a new market?

Could we in the future see Microsoft and Sony release Next Gen systems that would compete either with the Wii or with the Wii 2 in the next generation? Will Sony and Microsoft try to reach the hardcore market with a more advanced system while pulling a Nintendo and releasing a last gen product with motion controls to join the newly created waggle market?

In essence this would be a three tiered video game market (four if you count arcades). Handhelds-Motion Sensitive- Old School Hardcore.
