XBox + Nintendo vs. Ps3?

In a rather odd bit of news, Microsoft seems to be suggesting that people should buy Nintendo's Wii console.
Nope, not a typo. Peter Moore, a vice president for Microsoft, said in a recent interview, "Tell me why you would buy a $600 PS3?" He went on to explain, "People are going to buy two [consoles]. They're going to buy an Xbox and they're going to buy a Wii ... for the price of one PS3."
It seems that Microsoft is doing everything in their power to gain market share from Sony in the battle for next-gen console supremacy, including promoting a rival product.
Nintendo seems content to just sit back in their niche market and let the two giants fight it out alone.
