Both Shuhei Yoshida and Phil Spencer have given the Wii U and Nintendo in general praise because neither Sony nor Microsoft see the Wii U as a serious competitor in the home console space (and since Sony has semi-tacitly given up on the Vita, this is arguably the only console space where they compete anymore). If either of them were to try to attack the Wii U, it could possibly be seen as bad publicity. I think we're only now seeing Microsoft being so overtly positive towards the Wii U because it is now evident that the XB1 is selling much better than the Wii U, which wasn't as apparent a year ago.

Rest assured, if the NX does phenomenally and poses a significant threat to either the PS4 or the XB1, you won't see Spencer or Yoshida praising the NX like this.

Phil already said congrats with Sony many time. More than with Nintendo.
