I think the original post could have been spiced up with a little more nerd rage.
But seriously, anybody who says that the Wii, PS2, PS3, and 360 aren't all competing with each other just has an angle. Yes, that includes MS, Sony, and even Nintendo. It's all just spin put out by marketing teams and their enthralled fan clubs.
Heck, I've seen people decide that they won't get a PS3 because they don't need its multimedia capabilities -- they already have an iPod. So there you go, iPod and PS3 are in competition. On some level, video games are also in competition with cinema, TV, books, music and mimes.
