Except when one of those companies does something explicitly with the intention of hurting the other manufacturer's console. I forget, was it Sony or MS that said "our goal is to kill Playstation"? It might have been either, both took a decent stab last gen.

source?

I just searched "our goal is to kill Playstation" and the only result was this thread. Hmm....

Though if it was Nintendo who said this, then my argument would still be valid...my post was refering to games, not toys.

Sorry, memory was a little fuzzy, ehre's the quote:

"Joachim Kempin: Forget Xbox. That is a crummy product. Think of the graphics you have on an Xbox versus a regular PC. The PC runs circles around it. I voted against Xbox when it got started. Microsoft lost $6 billion to $10 billion on Xbox. Today they are making a small amount of money in that area. But is this important for the company? No, it’s a distraction. You know why Xbox was done? There was only one reason; Bill said, “We need to stop Sony from conquering the living room with the PlayStation.”"
