I think NIN is a little more than DM^extreme. As a "band" they're a good deal less "extreme" than Depeche Mode in many ways, really. I mean, Depeche Mode has been quite over the top at various points in their career. Remember Violator? Also, I think NIN's sound is actually more varied and expansive, as DM has really pretty much stuck with the same formula for almost all of their career.
Nothing against Depeche Mode, of course. I just think Trent is musically — if not lyrically... (but maybe also lyrically) — quite a bit more sophisticated in the grand scheme of things.
