MS does not need to target Nintendo at the moment. MS have Sony by the throat and they are not letting go. MS is focusing on competing head to head with Sony in HD console market it is XBox 360 Vs PS3.
Next console generation MS could be facing off against Nintendo for first place. Sony will hopefully still be alive with PS4, next generation, trying to rebuild from PS3 era. |
MS can't steal consumer from sony and sony still have 20% on marget share in this generation. Now, MS target to steal consumer form Nintendo because wii don't have so much consumer loyalty as like Sony, 50% marget share on Nintendo can change easier than 20% on Sony. In the end of year maybe you will see something with marget share percentage.

You greatly underestimate the loyalty of Nintendo customers. Not just to the company but to the style of play and control. MS will lure very few back to game pads and if they go motion then they lose hardcore. Not to add that MS is not the most trusted and beloved of companies to begin with.

I doubt that they are put off from the Wii by the controls for the most part, its probably a combination of the games and visuals available on the system. Remember ~60% of the population is visually orientated, and there are probably many Wii owners who wish they had better visuals but are still drawn to it because it answers a fundamental question of usability.
