I think it is a direct attack on the Japanese market more than anything... Think about it... MS has been trying to get the 360 sold there. Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon... They are trying hard to get support for the console but the Japan market just isn't biting. Now along comes a little title called Viva Pinata for the DS. It sells a million or more copies in Japan inside of 3 months. Microsoft, in a rare moment of Brilliance bundles a 360 with VP and adds downloadable content to allow the DS and 360 VP to work together over Wifi. It'll sell some consoles, certainly, but how many? Regardless, they'll pull down millions on the game along and add yet another reason for a 50K more 360s to end up in Japanese gamer's hands.
I hate trolls.
