It probably is the best thing to happen; no one wants a companie's successes to go to its head, and a wake up call is sorely needed.
If you look at the way console generations have panned out, could we apply the same to Sony and Microsoft? It seems all companies go from inventing a product, to refining it, letting it get to their heads, struggling to recover and then, in the case of Ninty at least, doing something risky that pays off, and probably starts the cycle all over again.
OKAY -> SUPERB -> DOWNFALL -> STRUGGLE -> RISK
NES -> SNES -> N64 -> GC -> WII
SMS -> MEGADRIVE / GENESIS -> SATURN -> DREAMCAST
PS1 -> PS2 -> PS3
XBOX -> XBOX 360
Naa, it will probably never pan out like that, but it will be interesting to see.

Oh, so that 3rd Console curse is true. I just needed it in perspective.
