The reason no winning console has ever been hated so much is because the runner up consoles have never been as popular or loved so much. This race is definitely tighter than previous ones. And besides, people are so quick to forget the massive amount of hate that the Playstation 1 received from bitter fanboys.

But no, it's because Nintendo "CHANGED TEH EVERYTINGZ!!!"

The NES was hated about this much by the hardcore gamers of the age, for many of the same reasons, primarily the rejection of old gaming values in favor of new ones.

It's a lot less to do with console-specific fanboyism and everything to do with a very real fear of the marginalization of current gaming values.
