@ookaze: I 100% agree with you, but man, that was a bit harsh. :)

Nintendo says it isn't competing with MS and Sony, but it only means that in one sense: it isn't going to try to beat them at the traditional presentation-based pissing contest that has been going on in this industry for the past decade or so.

The truth is - and of course Nintendo is probably happy that so many people don't quite understand this - Wii is designed to destroy the competition. In fact you can find many similarities between the Wii strategy and the iPod strategy: Nintendo set out to copy a company that completely obliterated one of Sony's strongest markets, the Walkman.
