I don't really criticize because Nintendo fans put up with a lot:

- They pay good money for outdated hardware. Lets be honest, the Wii U is 2007-era technology being sold at $300-$350 (depending on when you bought in). The "New" 3DS is a joke hardware wise compared to any modern portable smart device.

- Third party support has literally whittled down to nothing but Just Dance and LEGO/Skylanders stuff.

- Amiibo stock headaches being really awful.

- Generally speaking we get 4-5 good games a year. Total.

- Nintendo has for the last ten years been chasing an endless array of gaming gimmicks (motion gaming, touch gaming for casuals, 3D glasses free, tablet/dual-screen gaming) rather than really just focusing on fresh new game experiences like Splatoon. They've become obsessed with chasing the gimmick formula rather than making sensible hardware decisions. 

At some point, people snap. Some people wanted just a Metroid or a Paper Mario, but when you're not even getting that, then I can understand why some people will say "enough is enough". I'll always love Nintendo and will buy Nintendo hardware as long as they make it, but I can understand the point of view of someone who has had enough.
