Well the fact is that as Montana says the PS3 and 360 are loved much more that the Saturn,Cube or Xbox ever were.Maybe the DC and N64 were loved in equal amount ...and that explains the amount of hathred of the nintendo and sega fans back then against Sony wishing that anyone took down Sony (even MS no less) now that their faves couldnt.
But I think theres something more to this Wii hate .
First ,its the console with the worst games by a long shot.Period.Theres really no discussing this .
Second ,it sells the most by a long shot and may put some bad ideas on developers heads about changing the industry to a casual flavoured one.
The fact that it sells the most united to the crap games create hate between core and hardcore gamers.Its totally normal .
Finally ,the Wii marketing is geared towards that blue ocean of casual players ...core and hardcore gamers dont see them represented in those ads.Just to give an example the DS and some Wii games are promoted here in Spain in some spots by a 75 years old actress called Amparo Baro.This drives nuts the oldsters and may gain lots of sales ,but generates feelings of disdain among core and hardcore users.
