Why are people so threatened by the Wii?

I see it all over the forums & comment boards on the internet.

This Wii thing has got people besides themselves. They are rooting for this system NOT to be a success & hoping it will ultimately fail. It comes out in overt and covert ways but there is a current of thought that seems irked that Wii even exists.

What do you think causes this?

Actually I sort of know the reasons but I just want to get you all's take on the chafing that Wii brings to some people.

Only thing I can think of is because those Sony / MS fanboys feel insulted by a machine which it's power is based on gameplay and fun and not on graphics. They're threatned because the WII doesn't have the same power as their precious PS3 / 360, but is selling 2-3 or even 4 times more. Therefore typical fanboys, calls the WII a "fad", because they can't stand a less powerfull machine is selling more then theirs.

If the WII wouldn't sell that much, you seriously wouldn't hear those same people complaining, but pointing at Nintendo fans and by calling them losers because of their "fad" console. That's basically the whole point... I guess.
