Actually by moving against Nintendo, they realize that Nintendo is a threat to their market, that their market is in fact shrinking, the reasn is, the risks at moving into Nitnendo's ocean, is they risk alienating their long time supporters, and creating a backlash, so in fact the only reason they would try to move against Nintendo and co-opt the disruption is because they know its a threat.
Actually the idea is how the disrupted responds, is the most important, see if they successfully adopt the new market principles, they can prevent the disruptor from moving upstream and have succeeded in co-opting the disruption, right now the NATAL and Wand don't show signs of being able to do that, they show that MS and Sony don't really get what Nintendo is doing.
Actually the market is moving away from the old one, which is why the old market is faced with so many financial issues, a healthy market doesn't have the problems that the HD market is having, with companies laying off by the boatloads, and developers and publishers going under. There are signs of a dying market.

Facts actually do not back this.
When 2009 is over and people do the revenue comparison with 2008 they will realize that HD market in $ was fairly stable while the Wii market saw a very significant decline that year...( due to the limited numbers we will only be able to compute this for the US thanks to NPD though).
So basically this new market Nintendo supposedly found is collapsing very fast...

No, actually what we saw is if you don't release games you'll see your sales plummet, NSMB Wii however shows the market is very healthy, just was waiting for content

Due to the Wii price drop coupled with the current hardware/software projections by Nintendo there is no way around it, customer spending related to the Wii will have decreased very significantly this year( at least by 20-25% based on Nintendo projections)... Now if you tell me that if Nintendo doesn't release a couple good games the whole Wii environment suffers terribly that is not good news.
The real issue is that in a recession period it seems Wii customers cut spending more on games/console than HD console customers..
Basically if they have to give up something, games will be among the first on that list.
By comparison, Xbox360 related revenue will most likely be flat ( hardware revenue down due to full year at price cut compared to only 3 months in 2008 but software revenue up significantly).
PS3 revenue will be up despite the price cut ( hardware revenue even or slightly up, software revenue up very significantly).
