Didn't Microsoft and Sony both say their console would be the first choice console and the Wii the second choice.

Problem for them is if everyone that owns either a PS3 or Xbox360 then buys a Wii they both can't help but lose to the Wii.

I don't think so, Sony back in 2006 predicted the PS2 would outsell the other home consoles for christmas 2006 and it did.

 It seems supporting Nintendo has become the popular trend among next-generation console makers. After Peter Moore rather surprisingly considered Nintendo Wii as the second console of choice (alongside an Xbox 360), Sony's Phil Harrison shot back by telling GamePro, "I think Peter Moore is exactly right. I think Nintendo will be the second system consumers purchase after PlayStation 3."

As our tipster pointed out, if Nintendo was everyone's second console of choice, wouldn't that make it the top-selling console with the most market share? Regardless, statements like these are sure to put Nintendo's corporate offices in good spirits.
